Hmm. It doesn't really matter how your physical wire is wired in terms of where it is spliced and what-not. The entire length of the wire looks like the same "point" to the electrical circuit.

It sounds like you need Electricity101... I'm actually not sure where to point you.

Maybe a more senior member could jump in with a link to a good electrical primer?

To hook up your amps w/o a amp kit:

15' of power wire

A fuse holder 18" w/in your battery.

A fuse

Distribution block

Then from that I'd prolly run 8 gauge to your amps.

You can ground it with 8 gauge as well.

Get it?

Yeah I get it now, thanks.

As for the "how to wire the subs"..I'll figure it out. The only thing that confuses me is where the box connectors comes to picture. I might not even use the connectors and just drill a hole on the sides to run the wires through and just patch it when I'm done.

and for the deck, I went with the CDA-9851 instead of the 9833. I figured I didn't need the extra power the 9833 gives, and I liked the style of the 9851 better.

Thanks everyone for helping. I appreciate it.

I never use box connectors.. I just drill two holes in my box, pull the each wire through real tight like.. then apply gap sealer or liquid nail or super glue or locktite or something around the wire to seal it proper.
