Sub Configuration?

[kuijo 10+ year member]

Ok i just bought an AUDIOBAHN A8002T and the specs are

200W x 2 RMS @ 4 Ohms stereo

400W x 2 RMS @ 2 Ohms stereo

800W x 1 RMS @ 4 ohms mono

I want to get some hard punch out of them. So which sub configuration should I be looking at:

4 ohm DVC with 400wRMS (wired for 2 ohms)

2 ohm SVC with 400wRMS

4 ohm SVC with 200wRMS

2 ohm DVC with 400wRMS(wired for 4 ohms)

Or should i be looking at a diffrent combination and wattage?

Right now i've got 2 10" MTX Roadthunders that are 200rms at 4 ohms(SVC) and i feel like i'm going to break them and they're a bit sloppy. Is this because they are lower end subs?

ANy recomended subs that put out a nice crisp punch?

I"m putting the subs in a probox for my standard cab f150

Thanks for your time

I'd get 2 dual 4 ohm subs and wire them in series/parallel to get 800X1.

but if you can only get 400 watts total, don't worry... I'm only running 420 watts RMS for my subs and they get loud enough for a decent daily system.

Not take you breath away loud, but I can feel my hair vibrate.

Thanks for the correction.

Make that wired in series / parallel there dude.

Only parallel wiring would get it to the Ohms i said it would be wired for..?
