on hifonics site it says the zx7500 can run 1000wattsX 1 @ 4ohms. right now i am runnig 2 12s dual 4 ohm wired parall to 2 ohms. so the amp is seeing 2 ohms pushing 500 by 2. how would i run one sub @ the 1000x1 4ohm load? would i just wire up 1 voice coil staight to the bridged amp? thanks in advance

wire each sub with voice coils in series then wire the 2 subs together in parallel to get a 4 ohm load.

FYI, it is impossible to wire 2 12" dual 4 ohm subs to 2 ohms. Therefore, they arent wired to 2 ohms

will do thanks. fyi its a 2 channel amp, each sub has 2 4ohm voice coils, i wired up each woofer +2+,-2- then into each channel. thats a 2 ohm load to the amp right?

bones, if that is done what wattage will the woofers get? also how will i do it just for one woofer?

Yes, that would be. A 2 ohm load to each channel, not to the amp as a whole.

it would 500 per sub or 250 per coil and just one dvc 4 you can't wire it at 4 ohm mono only 2 ohms or 8 ohms.
