[QUOTE="paulmarsh1222, post: 8490378, member: 669469"] Well you're in a bit of a problem my friend. Your amp isn't powerful enough for them in the first place. The subs take 500 watts each bringing you to 1000 watts rms. Anyways as for your wiring, two 2ohm dvcs can be wired to 2ohms altogether on one channel or .5 ohm which your amp won't support. You also can't bridge at 2 ohm on that amp. You could however wire each sub to a channel at 4 ohms but your amp will only give you about 200 watts out of the 500 the sub calls for so you'll never even get half of the potential with that amp. So for now you can stick with that amp and give the subs what little the amp offers without trying to over power the amp and burning it up or even ruining the subs by trying to pull more power than the amp can make or upgrade to a better amp that will give you the power you need.
