Default subwoofer phasing on Disco II

I need a wiring schematic as I replaced the two 6 1/2 inch rear woofers with a single 10 inch subwoofer in the back. I need to bridge the 4 different coloured wires to the +/- of the new speaker,and I can't figure out the combination to fix the phasing issue.
Any helpis appreciated. I wasn't sure where to post this. :/
Thanks!

got any pics of this project?

According to the RAVE CD.
30W Tail-gate woofer - 4-ohm x 2





FUNCTION
PIN
WIRE COLOR

R/F Door Woofer +
22
PK/RD

R/F Door Woofer -
23
PK/GN

Back Door Sub 2 +
24
PK/BK

Back Door Sub 2 -
25
RD

If you're bridging this together (which I'm not sure is adviseable) you'd want to join PK/RD and PK/BK together and attach that to the positive post on the woofer and the two leftover (PK/GN and RD) would be joined together for your negative terminal.

I'd be really weary about what this may do to the amp. I do know that improperly matched impedences can toast the amp or the drivers. I'd consult with someone who knows what they are doing to ensure you do not run the risk of smoking your stuff.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "phase". From what I understand, this is generally only an issue when you have two subwoofers. What can happen is one will cancel the other one out. If you reverse the polarity (by attaching the negative lead to the positive terminal on the driver and obviously the positive lead to the negative terminal on the driver) that will change the phase of the driver by 180 degrees. If in doing this, you hear an improvement in sound, then yes the speakers were out of phase.

in your situation I'm not sure phase is what you mean.
