    Re: Few install questions

    is you'r amp 1 ohm stable, 2 ohm stable, or 4 ohm stable?
    if you parallel each speaker you will net 2 ohms each.
    if you then series them together it will net you 4 ohms mono.
    if you parallel them it will net you 1 ohm mono.

    note:Any thing under 4 ohm mono you need a min. 4 guage power wire from the batt to the amp. If not a second batt near the amp.
    good luck, and i hope i helped.

    i have 4guage from the batt to the amp, and i plan on installing an optima yellow top in my trunk later on.

    Im almost positive my amp is 4ohm stable, so i guess i could wire in a series, if its 2ohm stable ill just go with the parallel

    thanks for the help (both of you lol)

    Halxi ,the diagram superaccord posted only shows a single voice coil speaker..
    with the duel voice coil you have to parallel both voice coils per speaker then series them together...if that makes sense.
