if u got a d2 means dual 2ohm voice coils, u can only run this as a 1ohm or 4ohm load wiring configuration, meaning with the amp u got, u can only run it at 4ohm, so ur only feeding it 500watts. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/images/woofer_wizard/1_2ohmDVC_1ohm.png http:// http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/images/woofer_wizard/1_2ohmDVC_4ohm.png

if u had a d4, dual 4ohm voice coils, yes u could wire it down to a 2ohm load. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/images/woofer_wizard/1_4ohmDVC_2ohm.png

the only way ur going to run that amp at full power is to run a dual 4ohm voice coil sub, or get another dual 2ohm voice coil sub and wire it in series to create a 2ohm final load. http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/images/woofer_wizard/2_2ohmDVC_2ohm.png

this amp is NOT designed to run at 1ohms. lowest impedance is 2OHM!! @1000watts rms.

Use 8G or 10G wire man...

and for the good of this thread DON'T EVER FSKING DOUBLE UP YOUR WIRE FROM THE AMP TO SUB
