thank you so much! that did 'er!

You want to series the dual 2 Ohms to get a 4 Ohm nominal. Put the sub so one coil is on the left, the other on the right. Now pull some speaker wire so its just one wire on each side, enough to reach each side. Put one lead on one sides +, the other on the opposites - Then run just a single piece ...

dual 2ohm voice coil, min inpedence is 4 ohms, and im running it on planet audio dx400 amp

i have a hifonics atlas 12sq.. a 13 inch square sub, and the wiring diagram that came with it, doesnt make sense.. i need to know where to route the speaker wire for 4ohm. can anyone help me??

i'm just wondering what kind of amp would be good but not TOO expensive for a hifonics as12sq.. i'm sick of getting ripped off with crappy no name amps that make subs sound like crap.

thanks!
