Is this my only option for wiring

[basketball00011 10+ year member]

I have 2 DD 9512's 4ohm dvc. As well as 2 Mmats m3000.1. From what i read the MMATS amp is 3000w rms @ 1 ohm. and 1700w rms @ 2 ohm. The amps from what i see, are not bridgeable (only 1 rca input on both).* Are my only options to wire the subs together and only use one amp @ 1 ohm. Or to wire each sub to its own amp @ 2 ohm and gain match them.*

Are these my only options besides getting a different amp?*

2 ohms per amp per sub. Which kinda *****...I think those amps put out the most power into 1 ohm yes? If it were me, I would run one of those amps to a final 1 ohm load and either keep the other amp or sell off to buy a bigger one.

That's kinda what I was thinking. Any idea what these amps are worth?

Those amps are in nice condition...kudos for keeping them that way. As for a price, perhaps a few hundred a piece....?

Those particular ones made in FL?

Thanks! Yes they are, as far as I know. Any suggestions on a replacement amp?

Many choices available. You got a budget?

Those are worth quite a bit, don't take this seriously but my best guess would be $500-600 each. I would hate to let them go if i were you lol try one at 1 ohm and see if it's enough!

$1500 range if possible. Used is fine too.

Buy a Taramps Bass 12k if you need power. I won't say the actual lowest price but it's a little over a grand. I can give you the best person to buy one froms information. He posts a lot on here and is well respected (I bought my bass 12k from him)

I really do hate to get rid of them lol. I'll try one and see how I like it. I'm sure I'm going to want more (don't we all). But it's been 8 years since I've had a system so anything will be nice. Last system was an fi btl with 2600rms Which was good but I wanted more haha.

Don't forget too his electrical to support a big amp like that....costs just as much $$.

Currently have a mechman 320a alt with a dual bracket running my stock 160a alt. 2 runs off 1/0 OFC. Gotta start my battery bank now.

You have basically the same alternator output as me (I have a DC 300a and a "stock" AD244) I dc clamped ~320dca at idle out of both. I have two 55ah agms and one bank of caps and I almost never go below 13v. It's a great daily setup, consider 2-3 banks of caps and I think you'll be very pleased!

Maxwell ultracaps, or xs ultracaps only. About $300 a bank new, and $150-200 a bank used.
