i have never seen this before, but anyway, i'll try and describe it... he has a fosgate he2 and the guy that wired it for him connected the positive and negative wires to one set of terminals on the back of the speakers, then ran an additional set from the other positive and negative posts to the original... he said it was something to do with wiring both voice coils (buncha crap if you ask me) anyway, now the speaker does not work... he originally did this with the kicker comp vr that my friend bought from him too, and it is fried, so he swapped it for this rf he2... my question is is this frying the voice coils or something? and if not, then what in the hell is the purpose of doing this? i couldn't find a good reason why you would do it that way, but you know some people... anyway, i cant figure out what the deal is, the speaker wont play... thanks... my system is shutting dow, if you need more info, i will post it in a little bit

is that what you're trying to describe? As far as "frying them", have you used a multimeter to measure the speakers impedance? I'm not real sure how you could fry the *sub* (maybe the amp if you shorted the outputs together) by hooking it up wrong, unless maybe you wired each coil out of phase with each other, but ive never been stoopid enuf to try that, lol

sorry guys, i just now got my puter fixed, damn virus got me... anyway, i tried everything i know and the sub still doesn't work... it doesn't seem to be locked up, but i hooked up to a diff amp in a diff vehicle (mine in my vehicle) and the sub still didnt work... im gonna advise him to take it back to the guy he bought it from, save me a headache maybe
