I have an amp that bridges to 4 ohms.  I want to maximize my amp power so I bought 2 DVC 12's.  I have a few diagrams from this site and from crutchfield that show the wiring diagram clearly.  I know that i am supposed to run a wire between the neg/pos on one of the voice coils for each sub.  My question deals with the wires heading to the amp.  The diagram tells me to connect  the positives together and the negs together and run it to the amp.  My question is do I combine the 2 pos and then just send one wire to the pos or do I run both  pos wires all the way to the amp (ofcourse doing the same on the neg side)?.   Any advice would be appreciated.

is you amp only capable of going down to 4 ohms? are the subs dual 4 ohm vc's? if so then i think your plan kinda backfired.
