The sub that you listed in the link says they are single 8ohm. Do you know what yours' is?

If they are 4ohm subs this is how you wire them

So look look at your subs and there should be a sticker or somthing that says 4 or 8 ohm.

If these are the subs then it appears they are single voice coil in either 4 or 8ohms, for your sake I hope they are 4.
thanks.. i actually went there but i couldnt find my speaker.. i didnt know they had an arcieve...

i was able to check the subs myself today and they're definately 8 ohm with 200 watts RMS and 400 Watts Peak....
