Question about wiring 2 subs to single Directed1100D

[member02 10+ year member]

I have a Directed 1100D from DEI, i am gonna temporarily wire it to two DVC 12" brahmas putting out little over 550 watts to each brahma... but I have a question that mght confuse you:

The amp says on the back that it is internally parellel wired, it also had TWO sets of outs to go to the sub, would that mean that you wouldn't have to wire the sub parellel, just put one set to one voice coil, and the other set to the other voice coil of the same sub?

If so, could i attempt to wire two brahmas at 1ohm each comming off each out from the amp? or would that overload amp? i don't have a clue, i'm confused, I can't parellel wire the two subs because the chambers are seperate.

if someone could understand what I am trying to say... please help, thanks.

Ask any questions to help make my question clearer to understand.

read the owners manual on the 1100d if you have it. Im sure they can explain the wiring configuration on there. My suggestion is i think you should just wire the subs in a series since they are dual 2 ohm so you can achieve a 1 ohm mono load. I talked to a car audio installer about that amp, and he said just wire the subs in parallel if they are dual 4 ohm to get a one ohm load, or series if you have 2 dual ohm subs!!!!

my fault, on dual 2 ohm woofers, you can only achieve a half ohm or a 2 ohm load. I wouldn't wire the subs in parallel, bc they would fry the amp. On the 2 ohm load, your only gonna be getting 750 watts. My suggestion is you wait to get another amp to power both of the subs bc you will be underpowering them by almost a 1000 watts!!!!
