Connecting plate amp to tempest


First time caller, long time listener.

For starters I will tell you what I think is correct, and if I'm wrong let me know.

Tempest runs at 8ohms unless you connect both voice coils, and then it runs at 4ohms.

To connect the voice coils you just solder a piece of wire between the 2. + to + and - to -.

My question is how do you then connect the amp to the voice coils?

Do you just connect it to one set of the coils and all is fine? or do you solder the amp wire to the middle of the wire you add?

How come when people document there building a sub or speakers they only cover the making of the box and not the wiring of it? I have only found a few sites that show some wiring. It may seem fundamental to some but it is the part I am most worried about. If I mess up the enclosure I can always build another one, but I do not want to fry any parts.

Thanks,
Marc
