I want to know if my components are wired correctly. The way I have it set up is each channel from the amplifier is connected to each crossover (- & +).

My question is what is the correct way to wire the components to get 125 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms from the amplifier. The way I currently have it wired, I believe I'm only getting 75 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms.

Setup:

Kicker KX250.2
75 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms
125 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms
250 watts RMS x 1 in bridged mode

Alphasonik PCZ65
4 Ohm impedance
Power Handling: 120 Watts RMS

The way I currently have it wired:

...but I think it should be wired like this:

Both are the same wiring. The terminals simply have two connection points, they are not DVC speakers. You cannot wire these speakers for a 2-ohm load on your amp.
