Could someone help wire up my subs and amp?

[porksoda 10+ year member]

Well I have a pair of JL Audio 12w3v2-Dual 2 ohm Subwoofers. I did have them powered on a 500/1 but that amplifier took a crap on me.

So I ordered a RE Audio XTv3 1600.2 amplifer with out even thinking.

The amplifier specs are(in RMS):

4 ohm: 250x2

2 ohm: 500x2

4 ohm(bridged): 1000x1

How can I wire the subwoofers to correctly work for the amplifier.

Ill appreciate any help. Thanks!

Thanks alot!

Which option should I do to get the best about of power?

Option 2-2 ohm load

or

Option 3-8 ohm load

I am not even sure my amplifier will run either one of those correctly.

I am sure option 1 is out of the question because its sitting at .5 ohm.

So if I do either option 2 or option 3 how should I wire it to the amp?

Bridged or to one of the channels?

Sorry for all the dumb questions.

Thanks

Do option 3, they should work pretty well on that power.

give each sub 250w rms at 4 ohm

That would be the exact same thing as running them bridged at 8 ohm //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
