Then from the - on the 1st sub to the + on the 2nd sub. Finally from the - on the 2nd sub to the - on the Amp?

By running them in a series and bridging it to the amp, I am putting 425 watts max to the two subs in a 4 ohm load. If I just hooked up one sub to left out on the amp and the other to the right out each sub would be getting about 100 watts(don't know what the amp actually puts out off of the top of my head). Does my babbling answer your question? Matt-- 1999 Contour SE
