Wiring subs? Options

[urbandork]

Ill be running two of these http://www.cardomain.com/item/KIC03C104

OK after a small bit of research i have found that i should use a 2 ohm mono amp and wire the two 4ohm subs in parallel.

NOW my question is What should the amp put out to the speakers? Should it be the RMS of both amps or jsut the RMS of one amp. ex. if the rms is 100w then should the amp put out an rms of 100w or 200w because im running two.

Im also looking to not spend a lot. Could i jsut run a 2 chan amp and each of the two subs off of one of the two chanels. Or would that not get me good sound.

you want an amp to match the subs rms, get the JBL 300.1 it will power then just fine.

but isnt that like 300w the sub rms is only 125w ??? How should i match a 2 ohm mono amp rms to two sub rms's hooked up to the amp in parallel

[Scarrell]

no, the subs handle 125rms, you want to send them Atleast that amount, the JBL 300.1 will send them 150rms a piece, you will be fine with this amp, it matches perfectly well, and for the price it cannot be beaten.

just so i know can you give me a run down on the way wattage and all that stuff works going from a 2 ohm to two 4 ohm or does it even out because there are 2 4 ohm subs

do you know of a link to a site that can explain stuff.

you best be, if your running two subs, get a 2 channle amp. its going to sound a lot better. If your running two subs to one channel. just take both positives , tie togeather then both neg tie togeather, then wire it in. that should give it a 2 ohm rating. I would also say if you havnt got any thing yet, get dual voic coil subs aswell.
