Ok I read this
Im kinda new to the game

Ok, Say I got 2 DVC 4 Ohm subs. I want to wire them at 1 Ohm.

I got the speaker wire...Its doubled and 2 toned.
Would I just be using that 1 set of wires

Or will I need 2 sets of wires for each sub.
But then that wouldnt work on a mono 1 channel amp

And it wouldnt be bridged right either

Ok, Let me explain it again

Ok, on that link you gave me...Theres the red line...Then there's a red dot where it splits into 2 wires...Speaker wire comes in doubles..One for negative and one for positive (I guess)

Would I use both wires on positive & both wires on negative (4 wires total). But only use 1 amp positive & negative terminals (4 wires hooked to 2 terminals)

thanx bro....I needed to know that
but I changed my mind on the 2....Im just going
to get a Solo X 12"

Is it okay to have 2 amps hooked up, to 1 sub?

As long as you dont overpower the sub. It looks pretty hard to do that to a solo x though

Both amps have to be 1 ohm stable since its a dual 1 ohm sub. All you do is hook the positive and negative wires of the amps to the positive and negative terminals on the sub. One amp to one voice coil.

as long as both amps are the same in watts,rms,and brand you will be alright
