Help wiring my subs to my new amp?

[RodKnockJunk]

I have 2 SA LCS 12s powered by a SA SAM500 amp. I need some help wiring the subs together. The subs are DVC 4ohm 300watts a piece. The amp says it is stable at 1ohm but Ive heard 1ohm is not good for the amp. How can I wire both subs down to 2ohms and the amp be able to power them good still?

You have to wire either 1 or 4 ohm. One ohm will be fine.

That amp is designed to run at 1 ohm.

Ok. So will the subs be overpowered running all the time at 1ohm? This system will be my daily driver that I want to last for a good while. Thanks.

Thing is its a package deal. Wanted to get the SAE600D. But if the 500 will power them well i dont see an issue.

After box rise you wont see much power out of it. For next time a Taramps MD1200 is only $170 and super small amp as well.

You willl be fine. You will not be running full out all the time with that set up youll get a decent amount of bass nothing earth shattering by no means. From my experience with other SA products they handle more than rated hopefully still the case. Ive used the SD-2 and X series. I had a RF T-1000.1bd at 1 ohm on a single SD2
