Option 1 (parallel/parallel) = 1 ohm load
Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 1 ohm mono

so if the 2 subs are in the box should i run a positive leg n split it out side the box n send one to one speaker and the other to the other speaker? or does the positive have to go through the one speker and continue to the next? because in me box witch is ported, it has two seprate compartments so i would have to split the positve out side the box or drill a small hole inside the box to send the wire through to the other side, im just trying to be shure because i already burned out a channel on my rockford 800a2 and one of my kicker comp vr's so im trying to figure this out n do it right, thanks alot
