I'm really confused about the two types of wiring. Can some please set me straight. I'm trying to wire 2 DVC 2 ohm type Rs in series right now I think I have them wired in parallel but I'm not sure. I have the + wire from the amp to the first + coil, then I have the + wire running to the second + coil. Same setup for the -. Is this parallel or series???
P.S. Its the same setup as the one 2ohm DVC sub setup on the RFtech website, option one: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp |

parallel coils, parallel subs

I have a mono amp that is bridged out to two outputs , so what I do to follow the series coils, parallel subs pic is wire each sub the way its shown but not both the subs together right?, I take the - from the amp to one coil and the + from the amp to other coil and then a wire from the - of one coil to the + of the other coil right? Sorry I'm being dumb, just want to make sure I do it right. |

a mono amp can't be "bridged."
you just have two sets of terminals for one channel.
use this:

Thanks for your help Glass, My amp is a JBL BP600.1 how I do I connect it like the pic, do I only use one set of terminals? since its mono this should still give me the 600 rms right? |

Yea you will get the full 600 rms since the amp is internally bridged. By only using one set of speaker connectors you are actually get the full output as long as you are running at 2 ohms since its alredy bridged on the inside. |

Ok I'm going to try it the RF way, but I have one question first, will it work if I wire it like this?
