Hey guys,
I have an arcade machine which inside has 4 speakers and a subwoofer.
Durring the moving of the machine, the subwoofer broke loose along with
its wires and I cant exactly figure out where it hooked into. Can
subwoofers be hooked in series or parallel with speakers or do they
need some special connection for them?

Depends. If it has its own filter/crossover, it can probably be put
in parallel (not series). Otherwise, not.

A dual coil subwoofer has four speaker terminals, two left, two right.

You look for it or for printing on the outside which indicates it.
If you do not know what/how, find a local who does.

Well it only has 2 terminals on it so I guess its not dual coil. The
label on it is almost all gone.. all I can see is that it says its an
8ohn subwoofer. Will hooking this in parallel hurt anything even if its
not designed to be in parallel?
