    most amps now days have the terminals labled for a "bridged" layout as well. It's the positive from one channel and the negative from the other.

    Now ask about how many voice coils, and what config to run them all and it's another mini can of worms... lol

    What amp you got, and what subs? Might be able to run 2xseries and 2xparalell with ease...

    Just run both positives on the sub to the positive on the box, and both negatives on the sub to the negative on the box. Then run both boxes positives to the positve on the amp, and both box negatives to the negative on the amp. End result 1 ohm impediance.
