Wiring question *subs*
Wiring question *subs* Bridging my RF 800a2 to a box with dual 12's dvc 4 ohms. The dvc's will be wired in series and wishing to run the subs in parallel. My question is how do I achieve the parallel wiring since both subs are in seperate enclosures and each has its own +/- outside the box. Will I need to use 2 power distribution blocks and split out the signals to each sub or is there something else I need to do.. Im having trouble seeing this 
I tried this, bridged the amp and sent te wires to the left box speaker, the had a set going from those terminals to the second speaker..
Didnt seem to change much. Sorta thought id expect alot more out of the speakers.
I took each speaker out to make sure they were wired in series.. and they were.
Shrugs. Well thanks.. Perhaps Im just nutty
I did laugh when I read the reply.,. cant believe i didnt try that or see it 
Just most diagrams I see show a single wire set up connecting both speakers and just didnt see how I could do it with my box set up hehe

Yea those are the diagrams I have referenced. Though they don't really go into how I should do it..
On the left is how I have it set up. Series for the dvc 4 ohms, which seems to me its at 8 ohms per speaker.
On the right is how dragn suggested I make them parallel. which would put them at 4 ohms total.
Im just wondering if that is how it is supposed to be?

The one on the right would give you a bridged output with an impedance of 4 ohm. If that is what you are looking for, yes that is correct.
The one on the left gives you 8 ohm stereo.
If you want an impedance of 2 ohm bridged you need to run each sub in parallel and then connect those in series.
