[QUOTE="Dultra, post: 8636101, member: 674870"] I recently purchased a Crescendo BC3500D. I have 2 American Bass XFL 12's rated at 1000rms and 2000 Peak. My plan was to wire them up as shown here [URL="https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2-DVC-4-ohm-mono-low-imp.jpg"]https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2-DVC-4-ohm-mono-low-imp.jpg[/URL] But that would mean 3875 watts rms from the amp to both so then i considered running it like this [URL="https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg"]https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ca/learningcenter/car/subwoofer_wiring/2DVC_4-ohm_mono.jpg[/URL] but that would only bring 1150 watts to both subs. Would it be better to underpower them or overpower? Is there another way to wire these guys? I feel like the XFLs can handle way more than 1000 watts rms Im just iffy about this and seek advice on this matter Thanks Guys [/QUOTE]
