Amp wiring question

[Big Mike]

I have a PPI A600.2 that I would like to bridge to run 2 12" DVC subs. Do I need dual 4 ohm or dual 2 ohm subs? How do I bridge this amp? How should I wire the speakers?

Possibilities...

DVC 2ohm:

- series voice coils: 4ohm per sub

- - series subs: 8ohm final

- - parallel subs: 2ohm final

- parallel voice coils: 1ohm per sub

- - series subs: 2ohm final

- - parallel subs: 0.5ohm final

DVC 4ohm:

- series voice coils: 8ohm per sub

- - series subs: 16ohm final

- - parallel subs: 4ohm final

- parallel voice coils: 2ohm per sub

- - series subs: 4ohm final

- - parallel subs: 1ohm final

someone correct me if wrong

You need dual 4's. You should wire the coils of each sub in series and the subs in parallel and the final load will be 4 ohm.

i would get dual 2 ohm coils, wire them in parallel, 1 on each channel and the amp will see a 1ohm load and put out alot of power.

You obviously know absolutely nothing about this amp then so kindly STFU. That amp will not handle a 1 ohm load in stereo. It is 2 ohm stereo stable and 4 ohm mono stable.
