i just got 2 boston acustic g3 10in speakers and a ROCKFORD T500-1BD 1000W amp, i want to wire the subs up so the amp sees a 1 ohm load to get the most out the amp and that way each sub gets aprox 250 rms, is this possabe with dual 4 ohm voice coils im seeing alot of differnt info out there, any help would be apricated thanks

| 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

Do this twice. Option 1 (parallel) = 2 ohm load
Voice coils wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono |
