Series and parallel wiring

Seth T New member Username: Neonic Post Number: 3 Registered: Jun-04	Posted on Monday, July 12, 2004 - 04:27 GMT I'm really confused about the two types of wiring. Can some please set me straight. I'm trying to wire 2 DVC 2 ohm type Rs in series right now I think I have them wired in parallel but I'm not sure. I have the + wire from the amp to the first + coil, then I have the + wire running to the second + coil. Same setup for the -. Is this parallel or series??? P.S. Its the same setup as the one 2ohm DVC sub setup on the RFtech website, option one: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp

Sorry I'm being dumb, just want to make sure I do it right.

By only using one set of speaker connectors you are actually get the full output as long as you are running at 2 ohms since its alredy bridged on the inside.
