how do u plan on wiring ur subs?

 

[rog3167]

where the drivers are wired parallel for 2 ohm load? or if theres a better way ill be happy to take advice. thanks again

Well 2thunder 8000's wired with coils and speakers wired in parallel presents a 1 ohm load. i do brelieve there 4 ohm subs

yeh dual 4's would wire down to 1 ohm if they were parallel. well those subs can either be dual 4 or 4 SVC. so whatever model you got would determine the wiring.

i have the dual voice coil 4 ohm. i asked a car place here but they arent the best of place to go. thats why i was trying to get input as to how to wire them and if the amp would work. thanks

Yeah...with that voice coil config. you can hook the subs to a 4 ohm or a 1 ohm load. Not going to work so well with that amp. I know MTX amps like to see 1 ohm loads too often, at least my old one didn't.

I would be looking into a different amps, and by the way, those subs get quite loud but are too muddy for my taste.

Good luck...
