Wire dem spaerkers like dis: posted_image

Then connect the plus and minus wire to da channel 1 or 2 output. It don matter which one.

Sorry couldn't help myself. posted_image

You should connect the main positive and negative coming from the subs to either channel one or two. It dosn't matter which one, just pick one.

After you getter all wired up, compare that quality amp on those subs to the amp your buddy has on those subs and let us know whether we were right in directing you towards spending more money on a quality amp.

Im shure you and your friend will be very surprised what those subs will sound like with a good amp.

Good Luck, enjoy!
