2 woofers on a single channel monoblock

[mrpep]

I have a MRX M100 Alipne AMP and 2 woofers that are both wired to 2 ohms and both 600 watts. I am thinking of hooking these 2 up to the amp but how would I go about it safely and correctly? I don't want to make any assumptions so am coming to the forum for some pointers.

Are these subs dual or single voice coils? ( 4 connectors per sub or 2 ) and do you know if they are dual/single 2 or 4 ohm?

if they are dual voice coil wire them like this : if they are 4 ohm you will have 4 ohm resistance. Your amp cannot handle being at 1 ohm. This will only put out 600w rms if you wire them this way at 4 ohms.

if they are single coil and 4 ohms run like this

single coil 2 ohm wire like this

They are JL AUDIO W6V3, 12 & 10 inch

Dual 4s. You have 4 or 1ohm options. Neither is a good idea

And don't run 2 sizes and deff don't run 2 sizes with completely different tuned boxes

If I have 4 or 1 ohm options maybe it is not a good idea. I have a 1000 watt amp RMS at 2 ohms . Im pushing it as it is if I choose to try to load 2 x 600 rms subs = 1200 watts and if I have to switch around internal terminals then I will probably pass. I just wanted to see what it could do.

Youve been here long wnough to understand this man, your subs dont give off power. Your subs can only be wored to 1 or 4 ohms if together. Your amp is NOT 1 ohm stable and at 4 ohms wont put out much power. Build a proper box for the single 12 and run it at 2 ohms off the amp and do something else with the 10

Just testing the waters bro, I'm just going to drop the little experiment . And of course I know that woofers don't give off power. thanks everyone for your info on this .
