[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 3168734, member: 561023"] Okay - You've got a pair of DVC 4 Ohm subs rated for 150w RMS each. With those voice coils on a pair of subs you can either wire them to a final nominal load of 1 Ohm or 4 Ohms. Additionally you're needing an amp that makes 300-400w at either of those loads. Since it will be considerably easier to find that level of power @ 4 Ohms rather than 1 Ohm let's concentrate on the 4 Ohm option. Wire the subs like so: [IMG]http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/woofer_wizard/2_4ohmDVC_4ohm.gif[/IMG] And the option posted by ProjectPat would likely be an acceptable choice but you can get that level of power cheaper... [URL="http://www.profilecaraudio.com/amplifiers.htm"]Click on this page[/URL] and scroll down to the 600SX refurb Rated for 450w @ 4 Ohm mono bridged but probably does more like 400w @ 4 Ohm bridged actual output. $85+shipping with a 1 yr warranty.
