[every1 hates me 10+ year member]

dont hate...lol my amp is an american legacy 2000 watt 2 channel

its model number is LA2060

LA2060Two Channel Amplification 1000 Watts x 2 Output 2000 Watts x 1 Bridged Output Fully Adjustable Electronic Crossover Network Variable Bass Boost (0~12dB @ 60Hz) Soft Turn On/Off Circuit 2 Ohm Stereo Stable Bridgeable into 4 Ohms MOSFET PWM Power Supply Heavy Duty Aluminum Alloy Heatsink Discreet Wire Connections Variable Gain Control Remote Turn On/Off Hi/Lo Level Inputs Gold Plated High Impedance Input High Level MOLEX Input Power On LED Indicator LED Protection Indicator S/N Ratio: >95dB • THD:

thats the specs and shit on it

i was just wondering if i would be able to hook my my 2 pionner subs (120rms 400 max

4ohm) parallel cause i read sumthing sumwhre that if u hook up ur subs parallel and the amp isnt designed for it ull destroy the amp and itll be garbage...so i was just wondering if i would be able to hook up my subs parallel to this amp or would i be better off with the series hookup?

thx in advance

It all depends on the voice coil configuration on the subs, are they DVC, SVC, 4 ohm, 2 ohm?

Also, your amp is probably only 4 ohm stable in bridged mode, so if you create a lower load than that when wiring the subs, your amp will most likely fry.

You just gave me every spec except the one that I need
How many voice coils are on each sub? And what is the impedance of them?

my book that came with it says nominal impedance - 4 ohms

and it says 4 layer long voice coil design

im still kinda new at car audio so go easy on me heh

look at ur subwoofer and look where u hook up the speaker wire. on one of the subwoofers is there a spot to hook up 2 the positives or just one? that is about as simple as it gets

im pretty sure its only 1 but on the negative and positive side it looks like an L tho

then u have two 4 ohm svc subs. well if i were u i would hook up those up in series. there is probaly a diagram round here somehwere to look at. that will probaly give u somewhere round 400-600 rms so u just need to turn down the gain all the way and just work ur way up till u get what u need. hope that helps

His amp will fry if he does this.
Wire each sub to its own channel, thats the only way you can do it.
