1 ohm wiring question

[Silverado22 10+ year member]

I have two Kicker DVC 4ohm CVR 12s and a Hifonics BXI 1206D amp, how do I wire it to get a 1 ohm load, Ive seen all the diagrams and they confuse me, the amp has two outputs for subs, I know im need to wire positve to positive and negitive to negitive but how do I do connect the subs? An actual pic will be helpful.

is that amp 1 ohm stable? and if it put out 1200 at one ohm that might be a little much for those subs

that amp is 1 ohm stable and that amp will work for those subs just keep the gain down.

Wire all your positives together and all your negatives together and that'll give you a 1ohm load. As far as the connections on the amp, its a mono (one channel) amp that has two terminals for easier connection. It doesn't matter which amplifier terminals you connect the speaker wires to because they are all wired parallel internally.

So I dont use all terminals on the amp?

You can if you want, but you don't have to. They give you a pair of terminals to make it easier to hook up a pair of subs.

no, use all the terminals, what you are gonna do is take your first sub and wire it to one terminal like this

and then after you do that, you will take your other sub,and wire it the same exact way, but to the other terminal.

what that will do is give each terminal a 2 ohm load. and both those terminals are connected together inside the amp, and combine to make it a 1 ohm load. so yes use all the terminals, and follow what i said exactly and you will be perfect. let me know if you have problems
