Amp for 4 ohm svc subs

[Tiptopss]

Hi, looking for a bit of info on an amp. I have 2, 10 inch pioneer subs rated at 800 watts each or 400 rms watts each. I'd like to find an amp that will put 300 Rms watts to each sub. Would my best bet be to wire my 4 ohm single voice subs in parallel to make it 2 ohms? If so what kind of amp would you recommend? A monoblock class D amp? Thanks

It'd be better to wire them to 2ohms and run them off a monoblock...what kind of budget you looking at for them...there's amps anywhere from $150-700+ price wise...

I’m loving my JL Audio XD600/1v2 (600 watt 2ohms monoblock).

I run a 2 k and the 150.4 and are great thus far. I know that the 1k would work fine but a few $s extra and you have a little head room and a little more power on tap @1 ohm if you decide to upgrade later. These amps ar strapable also. Great budget amps and work horses

What is your Max Budget? What vehicle/ Stock HU? Stock Electrical?

How much space are you willing to give up for an amplifier placement?

I would wire both subs to 2 ohms in a ported and tuned enclosure to get the most out of them. A good single sub in the right enclosure does very well also to be considered. Wire exactly as shown in wiring diagram for two SVC4 ohm subs to a Final 2 ohm load

I have a pioneer HU with 4 gauge power and ground wire. I currently am running 2, 10 inch subs on a kenwood kac-929 2 channel amp. That amp is sending 150 x 2 rms to each sub at 4 ohms. I don't think I can wire my svc subs in parallel for 2 ohms and run that setup bridged. It however says 230 x 2 rms at 2 oms but I don't think it will work for me. I'd spend around 300 dollars for a decent amp. Maybe a sundown amp?

Tons of good amps that put out ~800-1000rms at 2 ohms.

So on a monoblock amp you have 4 speaker wire connections? 2 connections side by side is positive and the other 2 that are side by side are negative? If I wire my subs parallel and only have 2 wires coming off my subs where do I attach them? Does it matter? Or wire them like a bridged connection?

That amp Jimi77, is there specs for 2 subs? Looks like in that description is only for x1

You would wire your two subs together to create a 2 ohm load. You need a 1 channel amp that is stable at 2 ohm.

What deez said. Mono amp that has desired output at 2ohms.

So if the Amp I bought says 500 x 1 rms at 2 ohms, does that mean it will put 500 rms to each sub? Or would that be cut in half to 250 rms? Sorry for the non understanding as I'm not use to monoblock amps and 2 ohm loads. I always just ran 4 ohm subs on 2 channel amps

theres mono blocks (ex.500x1) and 2 channel amps that you can bridge to get (ex. 500x1)

if you hooked up 2 subs to either of those amps, each sub would get 250 watts

which exact subs do you have?

fwiw, tons of good info here...
