I have an old school RF Power 1100a2 amp, MTX 81000D Mono amp and (2) new 10'in AudioPipe 1200watt 4Ohm dual voice coil subs in a ported box.
First, which amplifier should I use? I will not be using 14.4VDC. I think the MTX81000D might give me more output to the subs...
1) What is the best way to wire my subwoofers to get the most power out of the MTX 81000D? I have (2) AudioPipe TXX-AP10W 10' subwoofers, rated at 1200W each, 4 ohm, dual voice coil.
Currently I have the subwoofers wired down to 2ohms individually, in a ported enclosure and do not have 14.4VDC.
500 Watts RMS/CH x 1 into 4 Ohms
1000 Watts RMS/CH x 1 into 2 Ohms
1500 Watts Dynamic Power x 1 into 2 Ohms (14.4VDC)
2) The amplifier is a Class D mono amplifier. I noticed that there is (4) terminal outputs for speakers. The only indications of outputs are (+/-) (+/-) next to the remote wire in lead. In conjunction with this, do I bridge it and how? OR, do I wire each subwoofer at 2 Ohms directly into each of the two +/- inputs? Someone told me that by doing so, it will bring it down to 1 Ohm since the subwoofers are wired to 2 Ohm.
3) Lastly, the amp recommends using 0 AWG power cable. I have 2 AWG wiring running to my trunk already. Will this be a problem?
