All four voice coils in parallel = 1 ohm load on amp. Like this:

Just make sure that you use red and black wire like Dyohn suggests, otherwise the flux capacitor will not charge properly. AS usual Dyohn is bang on with his wiring.

is the suggested red and black wiring needed for reference in connection or are there specific wires I need to get - ?

I was messing with ya, it was for reference only. Use any normal speaker wire, more than likely a 12 guage.

I think what Rob means is if you don't use the black and red color coded wire, your hair will start to fall out early and your sphincter might pucker, and it's possible your woofer cones will invert themselves spontaneously and begin producing reverse osmosis sound waves, which can really mess with your head...

Actually, the color of the wiring is not at all important. That's just what the JLAudio subwoofer wiring tutorial graphics (easier to cut and passte than to draw new pictures) happen to use. He's being funny. posted_image

And yes, that system will blow the windows out of your car if you're not careful. Ride with earplugs handy.
