    well to get more bass you have to wire the speakers parallel within there ports which means connect positive with positive and negative with negative..then when you run the amp to the sub box youll need 3 sets of wires..the first or main set runs from the amp to the nearest sub terminal..then the second wire connects with the first terminal then into the middle set of terminals. then the third set connects from the middle terminal to the last terminal, but make sure that positive connects with positve and negative with negative..red terminals are pos and black are neg…

    ok go like this wire three coils seires this should give you a 6 ohm load do the same to the other three coils now wire the to o together and you would have a three ohm load and would get about 1200 rms out of amp any questions just drop me a line
