Can i wire my subs like this?

Right now im running one amp to 2 subs that are in a box with one wire terminal. The box i have goes under my back seat and im getting another box for 2 more subs behind my seat so i can have 4 10's. This second box also has only one wire terminal. The subs i have+getting 2 more of are JL 10w0v2s they are 4 ohms SVC. I made this diagram, can i wire them like this?



If i cant wire them like that, can i run two wires out of one amplifier terminal? Like one positive to each box and one negative to each box. I know it would be more simple to have a 2 channel amp but 2 channel amps that put out the power required to run each sub at around 220rms (where i want it) are really big and i dont have the room. I don't want to install two amplifiers either, just to power the subs off one monoblock amp.

Yes u can wire them like that. It puts u at a 1 ohm load. As long as your amp is 1 ohm stable. Your only other wiring option puts u at a 4 ohm load. What amp are you running? That is what will be the important factor.

If you run the jl audio hd 750/1 or 500/1 or 1000/1 all those amp will run the same output power from 1.5-4 ohms not to many amps on the market will run 1 ohm by running your subs at 4 ohms with those amps it will give your power and allow the amp to run cooler.

I'm not going to use the amp i have now (its a powerbass 400.1 2 channel). I was going to use a kicker zx750 until you said its gonna put a 1ohm load on the amp. The second box im getting is the 2001-2003 BTS over at supercrewsound.com i might just ask them to give me 2 terminals so i can run wires from one box terminal through the sub terminals and out the other box terminal and then to the ones under my seat so i can keep at 2ohm load on the amp.
