need help wiring subs

[jakel 10+ year member]

i got 2 10" infinity reference series subs

i have been reading and searching about the ohms but i dont understand it so what is the best way to wire these up...and i pic wouldt hurt if you guys dont mind

this is what i think the way it should be wired up but correct me if im wrong.

but i think this one will work the best.................

Subwoofer Size: 10"

Impedance: Dual 4 ohms

Dual Voice Coil: Yes

Peak Power Handling: 1000 watts

RMS Power Handling: 250 watts

and a sony xplod 1200 watt amp

MOSFET Power Supply & Output Stage

• Maximum Output Power:

2 Ch x 400W at 4 ohm

1 Ch x l200W at 4 ohm

2 Ch x 600W at 2 ohm

• Rated Output Power:

2 Ch x 200W at 4 ohm (0.1% THD)

1 Ch x 500W at 4 ohm (0.15% THD)

2 Ch x 250W at 2 ohm (0.15%THD)

the first one is right if they are dual 4 ohm coils

Well i have 2 RF P312D4 subs and there are dual 4ohms and im wiring them up to a 1 ohm load on my 2 ch amp, but im getting a mono soon, but i believe the wiring to a 2ohm will work the best for ur subs and if u want u can always switch the wiring around and try both 2 or 4 ohm loads and see what ones works best and look at the RMS for both 2 and 4 ohm on ur amp

wire each sub in 2 ohm cuz its dual 4 so ur amp can give them the 250 x2 @2

so do i wire it up like the second one to one channel on the amp?

or can i do both subs like this to both channels of the amp

this ohms stuff is confusing.....

Well if u want u can wire one sub to one channel and the other to the other channel or both to 1 channel at the 2 ohm load like the second pic at the top u showed

so it does the same thing then........hmmmmm

Personally i would wire them up to a 2 ohm load and hook it up to one channel instead of one to 1 channel and 1 to another
