No, that is not correct.

In that diagram you have jumped one coil and are just connecting one voice coil of each subwoofer to the amplifier. That will send ~600 watts to just one coil and leave the other coil doing "nothing" (there's a paper on RDO in our technical web page that explains what you can do when you "short out" or put a resistor across a dead voice coil).

I swear I just posted the link to our DVC subwoofer wiring in another thread yesterday...Click me for the wiring diagram document. That document shows you how to properly wire up DVC subwoofers for different Ohm loads (parallel, series, and series paralllel). Each single Mag can have a 1 Ohm or 4 Ohm load. If your wiring each sub up to a single 1000D, you'll parallel the voice coils on each Mag to give you the 1 Ohm load the SAE-1000D requires.
