[QUOTE="Streetz, post: 5101784, member: 602994"] I'll try to keep this short, but have a dilemma: First, I've never dealt with DVC subwoofers before, and right now very confused. I bought an amplifier (Profile AP2000) for a pair of subs I have (which I found out a week ago one is blown). Now the amplifier can have the following setup: -320 watts RMS x 2 at 4 ohms (480 watts RMS x 2 at 2 ohms) -960 watts RMS x 1 bridged output at 4 ohms (4-ohm stable in bridged mode) Now because I found out one of my current subs are blown, I purchased 2 Rockford Fosgate P3D212s. I chose the 2ohm model thinking I can wire both at 2ohms so the amp will output 480 watts RMS. I'm looking at the wiring diagrams and it shows no way that I can do either 2 at 2 ohms or bridged at 4 ohms to get the most out of my amplifier. My question basically comes down to... am I missing something in the wiring? If they're the 2 ohm model, why can I only get 4 ohm by themselves? Can I only use one set of terminals and that will get me 2ohms, or are all 4 supposed to be connected in one way or another? I'm sorry if I come off as an idiot, just frustrated. [/QUOTE]
