Yes you can. No it will not blow out the subwoofer (unless you abuse it). No it will not overheat the amp (unless you have the gain set incorrect).

Try each scenario and listen to which one you like best. They will both work and we would not be giving you these options if we didn't think it would be safe to do. Why would you think that we give you a wiring hook up if it were going to damge your equipment ?

the reason it seems wrong to hook a + and a - wire together is because you are still thinking DC and not AC. think about wiring your woofer just like a chain of christmas lights are wired (series) a single wire runs in one side of the light bulb and out of the other side to the next light bulb. voice coils are the same when wiring in series. the diagram is dead on and i agree it is like asking if Shakespeare can write, these guys know their shizzle. great post on wiring woofers up correctly.
