Ok so I have to wire backwards on the ab subs right? Positive from the amp to negative on the sub and negative on the amp to positive on the sub?

Give it a try and let us know how it sounds. Got a feeling that it still won't be what you're looking for, sound wise, but it should sound better wired "correctly".

Thank the others. I didn't even catch it until I read back over what was said. Not my week AT ALL.

By mounting the audiobahn subs on the box facing into the box and the kickers facing out of the box and wiring them all + to + and - to - the subs are not all moving in the same direction. The kickers would be pushing out of the box while the audiobahns are pushing into the box, and they are cancelling each other out and making no compression of air in the box. If you wire the audiobahns reverse polarity (you could reverse either set of subs, the kickers or audiobahns) it will make them pull out while the kickers push out, so the cones will all be moving the same direction.

Make sense?

Give it a shot and let us know.
