No Limit Soldier Silver Member Username: Ska USA Post Number: 729 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Saturday, March 15, 2008 - 00:40 GMT i just got my aq1200.1 in the mail thanks to chris i looked at the wiring diagram and for each + and - it shows going from the sub, then branching into 2 each (total of 4 wires now) 2 into the + and then 2 into the - is this right or can i just use 2 of the channels instead of all 4? because wont using all 4 change the ohm load?
