Is this what you suggested above?
Also, where the two (+) or (-) meet to make 1 new wire, do i just cut the about 1/2 inch of the plastic then twist the copper together? How do i connect the single wire and the two wires twisted together?

Bridge the amp so you are just running one channel at 250 Watts.
Run the DVCs in series so you've got 4 ohms.
You won't need to drill any extra holes in your box as you'll only have one pair of wires coming off your amp. Wire the sub like you have in post #14 and connect the two leads inside the green box with a single wire.
Sorry if all this was already stated and clear, but the whole thread is getting confusing as hell for me.

wow am I glad u mentioned the 2ohms again,, i swore it was a 4 ohm dvc we had going..
Yeah you will have to go series and go the 250w x 1 @ 4 ohms,, since a series 2 ohm dvc goes to 4 ohms..
well at least wiring will be easier
dvc red 1 dvc black 1 => dvc 1
dvc red 2 dvc black 2 => dvc 2
connect dvc red 2 to dvc black 1. then connect dvc red 1 to the bridged amp's red then connect dvc black 2 to the bridged amps black.

yes you will wire one of the dvc red's to the other dvc's black.
which in above case would be the dvc red 2 to dvc black 1
That will make the 2 ohm dvc into a singlke 4 ohm load.
Then you bridge your amp and have it connect to the unused red on one dvc and the unused black on the other dvc. which in the above case is dvc red and dvc black 2
which in above case would be the dvc red 2 to dvc black 1
That will make the 2 ohm dvc into a singlke 4 ohm load.

Yea, its the third time ive set up stuff in my diff car and I have prolly fooled around with fine tuning em liek 3 times each haha.
Funny thing is every time I get started on it I seem to forget everythign and have to research it all over again.
Like anything if you dont use it often you tend to forget it.
Hope you get it rocking!
--- I finally got my 2 13Ov2 12's dialed in and the x-over set up and the gains adjusted right etc etc... sounds soo much sharper and harder than my old he-2's..
