I have 2 Memphis 15' subs and a Memphis 1000d pushing both of them. should i have them wired both together into 1 channel or each speaker going into their own seperate terminal on the amp. i currently have them both wired into one channel and they are hitting, just need some advice.

Thats a single channel amp, Hence the D in 1000. It has 2 sets of terminals to make it easier to wire 2 subs, but the amp is bridged inside. ok?

im thinking since i have both speakers running into 1 terminal, it is putting out more power? so you suggest to just seperate the speaker wires and run them into each terminal?

it would be the same. Both positive and negitives terminals are joined together inside the amp to make just one input. Its a mono amp. Mono meaning single channel. One channel.
The give you two wiring sets so you dont have to cram a boat load of wires into one terminal.

So basically, instead of having both of my subs wired into one terminal, i should unwire them and run them into their own seperate terminal and my subs will still receive the same amount of power and hit just as hard as they are now being that they're are wired in one terminal?
