i've got a DD 3500 15" sub and 2 PG Xenon amps that put out 600w @ 1-4ohms.

How do i wire the speaker cable?

(the amps have 2 sets of (+,-) and the manual says the speaker outputs are wired internally in parallel.

How do i wire the RCA's?

Is there anything else i should consider beside matching the gain and sens?

wire each amp to a different VC on the sub. + to + and - to - as usual. make sure all settings are as close as possible.

the amps have 2 sets of + and - outputs to make wireing easier, they are connected together as basically one big + and - connection block with 2 holes or slots drilled in them.

for the RCA's, take your sub pre out, run you an RCA to the back, then use Y splitters to make 2 L's and 2 R's, and use shorter RCA's to each amp.
