I"m running a jbl gto 75.4II.
getting two 12s and wondering about wiring. I'm using the rear channel only, and bridged.

I want to run this at 4ohms.

is my pic right? 28368

... why do your subs have 4 prongs... there should be one pos (+) and one neg(-) per sub..
your amp is 4 channel, bridge one sub over 2 channels and make life easy.

I've seen subs with dual voice coils that have 2 sets of prongs.

If that is the case, I would still think you keep + with + and dont 'bridge' + to - .

No, your wiring cannot be right.
Talk to an expert.
