Amp explanation, this would only take a minute

I runing this Amp Spec

» 2-channel car amplifier

» 200 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (250 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms)

» 500 watts RMS x 1 at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode)

» low-pass crossover (50-300 Hz, 12 dB/octave)

» variable bass boost (0-10 dB at 40 Hz)

On a CVR12 dual voice coil, and I think my set is hook up 2 channels on the dual voice coil, those this mean I runing 500 watts total? is this the right way to set it up?

what would you do If this was yours? what would be the correct way to hook it up

I'm no installer so please take it easy if I asked something wierd.

upss! sorry I forgot about that is a CVR12 2 Ohms with dual voice coil

Bridge the amp and wire the sub like this.

Then you will be sending the sub 500w rms

How much do I'm seding with the set up I have?

my set up is Amp 2 channels hook up to Sub 2 voice coil, one on each channel at 2 ohms, is this 500 watts?

One more question, will the CVR12 take 500 watts?

i have no idea what ohm load you have on your amp currently, but a cvr will take 500 watts easily... if you set your gain correctly it'll sound decent too

bridge the two channels and wire like above... so your amp sees a 4 ohm load

Yes the current setup is 500w, however bridging the amp and wiring the coils in series will make sure that the coils are getting the same signal and eliminate the possibility of internal cancellation with the sub. Result is better sound and slightly more of it.
