Basics: 3 Alpine type r (4ohm dual voice coil)
        Viper audio 1200d (made by DEI)
Dilemma:
I am wiring three type r's and i am doing it as pictured. I will post pictures of my custom enclosure tomorrow.

but my amp is a DEI (directed, viper etc) and where you connect the power, ground, remote, speaker + - it is not your average screw connecter but a seperate peice that the wire is inserted into and is than plugged into the amp.

my question is as follows.

when i run all three positive and negative wires... they will not fit in the given hole. Could i run them (12 ga) and use a butt connector to splice all three into a single (8-12 ga) wire and run that to the amp?

essentially i would be running three wires the +, or - and than turning them into one wire before entering the amp.

or would that restrict them, thanks for your time

if you follow the directions your showed above you will only have 1 set of wires going to your amp, , i dunno where your getting these 3 wires from.

Run one long wire from each speaker terminal at the amp to the furthest sub.  Tap into those wires for the other two.
