How to Wire correctly? (I'm Stupid) 
|
Silver Member Username: AfroopuffPost Number: 400 Registered: Jan-06 | Alright, so I have 2 dual 4 ohm speakers.... and I want to wire down to 1 ohm. I have the diagram : https://www.ecoustics.com/electronics/forum/car-audio/344562.gif But my question is, how do i do that? Is there spliters involved? Do i just strip and spin them togather? For instance, the positive is wired to the positive, but then another wire needs to be taken from that and go to the amp...do i use a splitter? Do i force them all in the terminal? If any of that makes sence... haha...thanks |

Same with the negative. |
