JBL.com or JLaudio.com - go to the product support and to the wiring diagram sections - it does not matter if you do not have JBL or JL, all subs wire the same.
There are two basics to consider, parrallel or series, one will yeild a higher ohm rating than the other. If you do not have an amp that is 2 ohm stable (meaning it wont shut down) then you do not need to be concerned with the series wiring.
dual voice coil (DVC) will yield a different ohm rating at the amp than a single voice coil (SVC)
It all starts at the amp, a good amp will drive a medium quality speaker wild, but a high quality speaker with a cheap amp will crap out and you will think that brand of speaker sucks, when it is your amp.
Ohm = resistance, which changes all the time, but the number is there for a starting point,
2 Ohms at the amp make it run hard (puts out more watts) but extremely hot (an amp that is not 2 ohm stable will shut down very quickly) 4 or 8 Ohms make the amp not put out as much, but is much safer for the amp, MOST AMPS ARE NOT 2 OHM STABLE - ESPECIALLY THE CHEAP ONES THAT CLAIM TO PUT OUT 3,000 KZILLION WATTS o.k. I exaggerated but hopefully you get the idea.
it is easier to look at the pictures than explain, good luck.
Kt - email me if you have more questions, I have installed about 35 compete systems (deck, speakers, crossovers, amps dvd, etc.)
