well some of you may know, i have a pair of 10" Planet Audio Vortex... i have a Rockford Fosgate 3001, (150@4ohms, 300@2ohms), well i switched a friend amps for a bit just for the heck of it.. so now i have a Scosche(blah) amp, not sure on the specs.. anyway i was wondering how you would wire these subs(i have them wired already.. they sound fine i guess, but just incase)

do you have a multimeter and a 9 volt battery? if so test the ohms with the multimeter and the polarity with the battery.

well depending on whether your subs have 4 or 8 ohm voice coils or maybe even 2 ohm..you have series wired each subs voice coils and paralleled the two subs together so you have either created 4, 8 or 16 ohm speakers with the series wiring and then paralleled them together to create either2,4 or 8 ohm setup to the amplifier.
