I'm going to rewire my subs (DVC 4ohm) to 1 ohm
IF I read the diagram correctly, I go from the + on the amp to the + on one voice coil on each sub, then from that same + to the +on the other voice coil on the same sub.
Then go from the - on the amp, to the - on the other voice coil on each sub, then to the remaining - on the sub..


amp+_______+1st vc sub1___________+ 1st vc sub2
\ \
+2nd vc sub1 +2nd vc sub2


-1st vc sub1 -1st vc sub2
/ /
amp -_____-2nd vc sub1____________-2nd vc sub 2



like that, supposing it comes out right on the screen

yeah, thats what I looked at , just wanted to make sure...wire all the + together and wire all the - together...btw, will this get more out of the amp, even though it has a regulated power supply.... Canaan suggested I wire them to 1ohm to get more power btw.

Yes, it does, but IF you read the way I asked above, Canaan said it would help if I wired them to 1ohm and it wont HURT anything...lol
