negative to negative, positive to positive i believe is parallel dropping the ohm load down, and series will ohm it up to 4 ohms

yeah i know par. is dropping and series is upping it...im wondering since my amp puts out 700 watts at 1 ohm load in par if the sub is gonna combust...i know jl underrates their subs but soundstream does the same to thier amps. either way i think wired in par i will be doing 700x1 or 350x2 and wired in series i will be doing 150x1 or 300x2 and the sub is rated for 300wrms. i just dont wanna blow it up.
