Ok so i got my box today and got my subs
The subs are (2) infinity Perfect 12 both 4 ohm speakers
The Amp Is eD nine 1 ..... 1200W X1 at 1ohm , 900 X1 at 2ohm and 450 x 1 @ 4 Ohm
... i want to reach a 2ohm lead, and my box has a terminal for each driver
( there is a negative and positve on each side of the box)
Should i connect each driver to the terminals and then connect them outside the box and run a single pos/neg to the box ?

For 2ohm you want them in parallel. The pic isnt working so I am not sure how you have them set up. If there is a bridged setup on your amp, wire according to its directions and run both positves to the positive post and both negatives to the negative post. This will give you a 2 ohm load.

Correct, you’re going to like the speakers. I caution you to turn off the bass boost [loudness] on the radio. Then READ the instructions on the amplifiers gain and what it really does, it is not a volume control. Allow the woofer to break in at a mild volume for a week, and then bring the gain control up to a level that the system will operate at a linear level with your mids and highs.

Mark,
Your box has 2 terminals, correct?
Easiest way to do it, a bit more wire, but simpler:
Wire each sub to one terminal on the box.
Then each terminal on the box to one terminal on the Nine.1.
It's internally bridged so you'll still get the 2 ohm final load you're looking for :)
Otherwise, wire both +'s and both -'s to one terminal on the box, then that one terminal into the Nine.1 like this:

Just pretend that each set of +/- in that pic is a separate sub ;)

That should be all the tutorial you'd need.
