I have 2 kicker comp 12 4ohm subs need wiring help?
2-12in kicker comp
1-orion cobalt 500.1 amp
1-dual XOBP12D bandpass enclosure
My question is there is only one speaker terminal in the back and it does have some sort of signal splitter inside the box where the wires are all soldered.
1. Will that make me lose power with whatever signal splitter is in there?
2.what options do I have for wiring the subwoofers at 4ohm vs 2ohm?
3. All the information I fou d on the amplifier says its a mono channel amp but I have two speaker terminals on the amp?
Any help would be appreciated thankyou in advance!

1. I'm not sure what the "splitter" inside the box is exactly, but you don't need it. I'd just remove it and wire the subs in in parallel.
2. Your subs are 4 ohms each, so you can wire them in series for a total of 8 ohms, or in parallel for a total of 2 ohms. You should wire them in parallel to get the most power out of your amp.

3. The extra terminals on your amp are just there for wiring convenience. They are actually connected as one channel inside the amp.
Good luck!
