these where just a couple of ways. assuming that you have a dual voice coil sub... this link will also figure signgle coil subs...

Wiring Option #2

[bobbyd]

hey thanks, are you good with wiring amps and all? do you think you would be able to tell me the best way to wire my setup?

[nvr2low]

what do you have...

once I have that info i shuld be able to figure something out for you...

[bobbyd]

im runnin a rockford fosgate P850.2 amp and two rockford fosgate p3 shallow i think im gonna have to bridge it to run good enough wattage?

[nvr2low]

Wire it this way...

I kow eveyone goal is to try and get 1 ohm but that is only good for comp. 1 ohm load over heats your amp and causes it to have a short life.

wiring your speakers this way will allow you to get the same sound with less wear and tear on our amp.

[bobbyd]

ok thanks, and should i pull a positive from one channel and the negative from the other channel?

[nvr2low]

yes, to the amp you will have + one channel and - on the other... that will bridge it...

[bobbyd]

thanks for the help, do you put in systems alot? do you have one?

[nvr2low]

kinda no, and yes i have a system.

i have installed pretty much everything i own. and i have been installing for family and friend for some years now, so it sorta comes natural. but i still have questions too...

Yeah...just ask him about "walking it out" hehehehe

But seriously, that info does seem to look about right, and the resistance will change how good it sounds and all, but you are pulling on the amp a lot more with the lower impedance. It really just depends on the equipment tho... I have a single 15" in my truck and have had it wired to the same amp for at least 4 years now, probly a little longer, at 1 ohm and have never had a problem. The amp and sub were both competition level equipment, and built for that stability, but if it is built to handle it, then it should be alright that way.
