I recently blew the subwoofer so i purchased a new one and I am not quite familiar with the wiring of the back of the subwoofer. It is a m610d4 diamond audio sub and it a 4ohm dual voice coil. I included a picture of the back of the speaker for referance. It is being wired to a Audiobahn A8000T amp here are a few facts about the amp i pulled off of a website, it also says i need 4 ohm mono, how the heck do i wire the back of this subwoofer then? thanks everyone!

Wire the VCs in parallel http://www.the12volt.com/carau...s.asp 94

 

EDIT: READING OWNS ME LOL you said parallel thanks man!!

Very nice website, exactly what i needed a picture diagram.... now which one would be best to use the first one or second one? I think parallel would be best but just want to check

 

The first one is parallel and as your amp is stable a 2 ohms it will put out the most watts at 2 ohms, the second is a series hook up and an 8 ohm load and the amp will put out less watts, can't hurt to try it both ways, at 8 ohms the amp puts out less watts, but it uses less power runs cooler and depending on what kind of bass your looking for you just way like it at 8 ohms. [series wiring, the second one] 94

 

Alright well there is a problem, i wired it up the 8ohm way because the 2ohm way i dont know if it will work, Here is another picture on the opp. side the positive are diff like swaper. Is it still ok to do the 2 ohm one just run the wire around the magnet of the sub?

 

Yes it's ok to just runn the wire around the sub.
There are a lot of diff. ways manufacturers install the pos. (+) and neg. (-) term. on a DVC sub, the most common is one VC term. on one side and the other VC term. on the other side, [yours I think] and with the pos. and neg. terminals on the same side or opposite sides but that makes no diff. as long as the wiring is done right.
That said the diagram you show is wrong, the way its wired is out of phase and there would be very little output from the sub and it would be damaged in a very short time.
If you want to wire it in parallel, [2 ohm load] connect a wire from the pos. (+) term. of one VC, [VC1] to the pos. (+) term. of the other VC, [VC2] do the same with the neg. terminals, it makes no diff. if you have to cross the wires when you wrap then around the speaker or if the wires the go from the speaker to the amp come off the same VC term. or if the pos. (+) comes off one VC term. and the neg. (-) comes off the other VC term., just as long as the pos. and neg. of each VC are connected to each other, and not a pos. (+) of one VC connected to the neg. (-) of the other VC, [out of phase] or the pos. (+) and neg.(-) of each VC connected together, [no sound, open circuit, nothing at all would happen] 94
