Now I thought one channel meant only one hole for a negative sub wire and one for a posative but mine has 2 of each? How should I wire it up? And what should I do with the gain supersonic and other tdials? How far should I turn them? |

It leaves out 2 posative and 2 negative which I know you never do? The way I did it was I took both the posatives from one sub wired them down to one wire on each sub then took my 2 new posative wires and wired them down to 1 wire and the same thing with the negatives. Is that right? |

Your overall objective to create a parallel connection is to connect all four positive connections together, and all 4 negative connections together. |
