Wiring the Rockford Fosgate M1D4-8B marine speakers can be done in two different ways. 

1. Woofer Series Wiring: If you want to wire the speakers in series, connect the positive (+) terminal of one speaker to the negative (-) terminal of the other speaker. Then, connect the remaining positive (+) terminal of one speaker to the positive (+) terminal of your amplifier, and the remaining negative (-) terminal of the other speaker to the negative (-) terminal of your amplifier.

2. Woofer Parallel Wiring: If you prefer to wire the speakers in parallel, connect the positive (+) terminal of one speaker to the positive (+) terminal of the other speaker. Then, connect the remaining negative (-) terminal of one speaker to the negative (-) terminal of the other speaker. Finally, connect the positive (+) terminal of one speaker to the positive (+) terminal of your amplifier, and the negative (-) terminal of one speaker to the negative (-) terminal of your amplifier.

It is important to follow the correct wiring configuration based on the number of speakers and the impedance of your amplifier. Refer to the wiring diagrams provided in the manual for further guidance.

Please note that the manual also provides information on speaker wiring using spade connectors or the COLOR OPTIX™ connector, which is included with the speakers. Make sure to follow the instructions and precautions mentioned in the manual for proper wiring and optimal performance of the speakers.
