hey, i recently purchesed 2 type-r's (SWR-1242D) and an orion 600D amp. Could someone please draw me a diagram of how i would wire this to get the most out of it. I was thinking of going at 1 ohm, but i dont know how i would wire the subs together, and then to the amp...so if someone could maybe draw me a picture? lol

well...the subs are in transit. they should be here tomarrow. But i do have the manual off of a SWR-1241D, and i did not see a diagram at 1 ohm, and i figured the new one would be similar...

2 DVC drivers with Voice Coils in Parallel / Parallel
Connecting the voice coils of each driver in parallel (+ to +, - to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.) will result in the following impedances:
Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 1.5 Ohms
You are here-->Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofers: 1 Ohm
Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofers: 0.5 Ohm

Just wire the subs in the box, and put positive and negative wires on 1 terminal
