I have a new system that I am to Install. Its only 1 L7 15 inch 2OHM but its the new 08 model.  I have 2 sx650.1 amps to power it b/c it was much cheaper than getting the 1250.1 model.
I'm planning on hookng up 1 amp to 1 coil and the other amp to the other coil. That way I have each "system" running at 2 ohms which the amps need to run at to have full power.
THe problem is I have a sealed enclosure and there is only ONE set of terminals to go inside the box. How do I therfore hook up the two amps to the terminals? Can I jsut hook both up to the box on the outside and split the inside into 2 wires for the positive and 2 for the negative and just hook one of each to both coils? Im sorry if this is confusing at all but if you understand what I am trying to do let me know how to do it properly. THanks!

U answered part of my question. I cant just hook the 2 amps together on the one set of terminals. but...
It should work somehow with out much difficulty.... If it were ported I could just run each set of wires through the port to the coils and there would be no problem.(eliminating the terminals for the box) Is that the route I should take?..... Or I could remove the stock terminals on the box and put 4 instead of 2...
And the beauty of the kicker sx amps is that you can group them together so that you control a group as 1 amp. That way you dont have to match the settings for the gain and everything else.
SO I dont have that as a problem...
THanks for the help guys!!

thanks for the info. I should have realized that I needed to strap them but I was worried that I couldnt achieve the 4ohm load the amps would need to be strapped. Now I know otherwise. Im glad this all worked out and Im looking forward to be BUMBIN later tonight. Thanks again you guys are great!!
