Hifonics bx1800d amp

[grtn316 10+ year member]

I have 2 - audiobahn AW1006T subs. I am looking for an amplifier to fit these two power hungry subs. I found a Hifonics BX1800D amp with a rating of 1800 watts RMS. Is this a good amplifier for this setup? The subs have dual voice coils with a 4 ohm load. Can I wire this up to push 900 watts to each sub or would I damage the subs?

Thanks for your help!

Not to sure it says:

"...dual 4-layer high-temp 4-ohm voice coils..."

Does this help?

yea that amp is perfect...just wire each sub down to two ohms(parallel) and then wire each two ohm load in parallel to get one ohm to goto the amp

What kind of cap or alternate power source should I setup for this amp? Do I even need one? I am putting this into a 2002 chevy silverado.

Thanks,

Here is what I did. Please tell me if i did this correct.

I ran a wire from negative terminal #1 to negative terminal #2 then went out from terminal #2 to the amp. I did the same with the positive terminals. I did this to both subs. I ran the positive wires from from the subs into 1 terminal and the negative wires into 1 terminal. This is how you bridge it down to 1 ohm correct? I have an extra terminal set, but if i give each sub its own set of termials this will supply a two ohm load correct?

Thanks,

I tried using the first diagram for 2 subs at 1 ohm. Do i wire the postive/negative wires from each sub into the same terminal or do i need to splice them together and then run it into 1 terminal? Or should each wire have its own terminal?

Thanks,
