HI all - sorry for newb question but want to do it correct the first time. I am going to be setting up a DVC 2 ohm sub that has direct leads coming from it, and running in parallel. In the box being built I will have bolts/binding post. I have only wired subs with push terminals so would go + to + and - to - on the sub and then wire to Box terminal and sub. Since I cant go + to + and - to - on the sub terminal, can I put some connector rings on the end of the leads and then connect the 2 + and 2 - at post inside box and then run single +/- from other side of terminal to my amp? I tried to attach image

gotcha...so yes as was posted earlier, yes just connect both + wires to the + terminal on the box, and both - wires to the - terminal on the box.

I would put a ring terminal on a fresh piece of 8 ga for both both + and - and connect that wire to each of the 2 direct leads using solder and heat shrink.
