Thats a DVC (Dual Voice Coil) sub. Depending what amp your planning on hooking it up to depends how your wire the sub (parallel, series). Post the model number of the sub and amp and someone here will be able to help you more.

Dual voice coil sub... Someone might want to confirm this, but I think some subs automatically bridge them if you just connect the left and right most terminals... Or you may have to wire them up in series or parallel? Check the instructions that came with the sub.

Edit: Damnit was beaten to it.

Need to use a combination of series and parallel wiring to present a 2ohm load to the amp. also check that amp should be 600wrms or higher and 2ohm stable

Heres a pic to make life easier.

The sub box should only have two terminals... or if it has more, you only need two. Connect the monoblock to them, then the subs in this config. Assuming your amp can take them at 2ohm.

Yes, and then you have to bridge (connect) the other two empty terminals on each sub.. Keep asking questions if you have trouble. It's better to query than blow up expensive equipment :thumbsup:
