i just gotta new cvr for my work truck, yeah i know its not a honda, but i have a prelude too. anyway, theres 4 posts on the back of the sub, 2 positive and 2 negative. ive only hooked up one side of the sub on previous installs on other car, but... is it better or worse to hook up to all four connectors?

It's a dual voice coil sub and all 4 need to be connected.

If you haven't damaged the sub by only using 2, connect all 4 as you're supposed to.

What make/model amp are you using to power the sub?

 

using a kenwood 600 amp, 2 channel. it straight pushes y0!

 

I didn't ask for power rating. I asked for make/model.

Since you can't answer a basic question that is asked of you, it's not a big surprise that you can't wire a sub correctly.

And WTF does "it straight pushes y0! " mean?

 

u got to either series the coil or parallel either ...cuz if u run it wrong... u can blow up the amp or sub... check the ohms on the sub and the amp... wat kind of amp are u running it wit?

 

how many subs are u running it with... and wat size is the sub? ... if its a single 15 or 12... u have to parallel it... get two wires about half a foot or a wire long enough to connect to negative1 and negative2 and positive1 and positive2 then u use the speaker wires to run to amp connect it to any positive and any negative...cuz u paralleled it ...

to series is... put negative coil1 to positive coil 2 then use the other two thats not connect

 

Running one voice coil reduces the power handling in half. Nothing wrong with running one coil if done properly.

If you want the full power handling of your speaker run both.
