Re: whats normal wiring, spilt and so on?
You need to use the proper smiley. :newbie:
J/k :laugh2:
Series wiring is the standard humbucker wiring. You'd wire the hot (black) to the lug on the volume pot where the cap is connected, and the red and white would go together. Green to ground. (there are schematics on the site)
Split is when you use only one of the two humbucker coils. It's like making a humbucker a single coil pup.
parallel wiring will give you an exchange: about 30% less output, but more brightness and sparkle.

Re: whats normal wiring, spilt and so on?
Normal: Red and white connected together, both coils connected together in series, in its noise-cancelling mode.
Split: Shorting the red/white connection to either the green or black wire to create a single-coil operation.
I would call those two the "main", or normal way to connect a humbucker.
But you can also connect the two coils in parallel to each other for yet a different sound configuration. (Green & white connected - red & black connected.)
Then, of course, you have all the different ways to combine two pickups.
(Milkdud types faster.)
