Along with 2 12" Alpine Type R woofers..Now whats got me messed up is the woofers come with some kind of jumper wires what is the best way to hook both of the woofers up to this amp..
If someone would make a diagram at works properly i will pay you 10.00 on paypal..lmao...

there are to options there,, you probly want to run them at 1 ohm that way yur amp is running cool, if you run them at 4 ohm you be short on power.

Still confused since my - and + on the alpines are in a straight line not across from each other.

wire all the negatives on each sub together and wire the positives on each sub together. than run from 1 negative on each sub to the negative terminal. the only difference of your sub is wear the terminals are jus remember the first positive and negative are one voice coil and the next two are the other instead of being across from eachother. so use the diagram to help yu. than those subs are going to be rockin:headbang:
