Yes, I’ve found that diagram, and I am sorry about the bad drawings. I tried the best I could for what I am trying to ask. I am just looking for a different ‘layout’ for the same result. 

For the first picture. Positive(+) and Negative(-) come from the amplifier, connect to a bolt/distribution block, then I have 4 individual wires from that bolt / distribution block going to each of the speakers positive(+) and negative(-). Would that setup get me to my goal of 1 ohm impedance at the amplifier?

 

Second picture. Postive(+) and negative(-) come from the amplifier go into a wire nut, 2 wires come out of the wire but. (3 Total Wires going into each wire nut) 1 wire goes into the first speaker in line, 1 wire continues on into another wire nut with 1 wire going into the speaker and 1 wire continuing on to the last speaker.

your first diagram will net you the same result yes.

you can ring terminal some 8ga and send a lead to one pos of each sub and one neg of each sub, or you can mount a distro block inside the box.  if you do a distro block, use 2 of these, one for pos, one for neg.  you can do 8 gauge in and 8 gauge out and it'll be fine.  dont ever use wire nuts,

Thank you very much. Doing it that way will make it easier for me to put 8ga wire into my speaker terminals because they are quite small.
