Default wiring 2 4ohm subwoofers..which was is best?

since i didnt really get the responses i wanted from the thread i started...
Heres a diagram i drew up...let me know if this is correct..SUBS ARE 10W3V3-4ohms

#1



#2







as you can see i "ran" the rca's on the oppisite side of the "power source" to ensure that engine noise or other electrical noises do not cross over into the audio cables.

let me know if this is right

Trick question The two outputs of the amp are internally connected in parallel so both diagrams achieve exactly the same thing (two 4-ohm subs wired in parallel to produce a 2-ohm load).
