ok 12volt has it done the same way RF had it mapped out. is there a reason why jl has the wires going to one set of terminals on the sub from the amp? or was that just jl amplifier specific? it doesnt state that it is though.

It doesn't matter. Hook the two + together to the amp and then the two - to the amp. It's all the same no matter how you do it.

You have to use both sets of terminals (one for each voice coil), but whether you wire one + to the other + and then to the amp, or whether you wire each + to the amp, etc., it doesn't matter. As long as they're all connected.

Parallel wiring is not like series wiring where you have to do things in order. Parallel wiring is very easy.

ya i know i have to wire both coils together, im just gonna run the wire from the amp to the sub to one set of the terminals. instead of opposite sides
