Bronze Member Username: Schultzy1087Pewaukee, Wisconsin Post Number: 12 Registered: Dec-07 | Allright, so that diagram is nice and all, but I dont exactly know what it means. What it looks like to me, is that I run a wire from the amp positive to the first sub positive. Then I run another wire from the first sub positive to the second sub positive. Then the negative from the second sub goes to the first. Then a fourth wire goes from the first sub negative to the amp negative. I dont understand what the wires from the sums that go from the positive to the negative do though? Anyways, is that it? |
