| In any other electrical environment to wire in parallel you would put both the +'s on the + terminal and both the -'s on the - but I dont know about with speakers so this is useless to you |

| to wire in parallel, run the + from the amp to the + terminal on one of the subs then from that same terminal to the + on the next sub. Repeat the process for the negative terminals... |
