Need help with wire problem

[billytheman1188]

Ok so my sealed sub box should be here soon....and i wanted to ask people how im supposed to connect the wires in the box, cause there are 2 wires per sub, where does each one go, cause there are 2 metal things that come out and u have to attach the wires to it, but i dont know where i have to put the positive and negative wires..........

what colors are the two "things".....(prolly red/blk or blk/white/ or both chrome) if they are both chrome it doesnt matter, just make sure you put both grounds together and both powers, then from the other side make sure you know which one is power and which on eis ground.

i dont know what color they are, i didnt get the box yet, but on my last box they were both chrome....... so if i put the subs in, and they are both chrome(the metal that u attach the wire to) i just put the wires on any of the metal peices........

Will anything happen to the subs if i mix em up for some reason??? just wondering.....

i will prob be fine, but im just checkin

Im not the most experienced audio person on the site, but i do all my own stuff and i do know a little bit....U may also want to double check with someone like soundextreme or someone else.

ANyways On the box i have now they are both chrome, I have both of my power wires together and both of my ground together.

Here is a crappy pic to help ya maybe..

Yea i see what ur sayin there, but the box i have has two separate sides for each sub, and theres a peice of wood in the middle of them......so dont i have to just plug each wire in to each metal peice, i was just wondering which one i have to plug them into....

When i get the box i will take one, if i have trouble.......


but i will try to hook them up first, if it doesnt work then i will come back here and ask for help...lol

Thanks though man for the help, i appreciate it.

Umm... Positive from the sub connect to the Positive lead on the sub box... Negative to Negative.

Make sure they go into the amp the same way. Mixing positive and Negative never ends up in good results. Also make sure you know what your doing when it comes to setting the gains on your amp so you dont blow your subs a week later. Distortment is always bad and means turn down the volume.

Yea ive had these subs for a year now, but i got a new box, and i just wanna know what metal peice in the sub box is for the positive wire and what one is for the negative........cause the metal peice in the box isnt labeled positive and negative.......
