Which way to wire?

[taelove]

So if i get 2 amps im thinking of getting Rockford Fosgate PRIME R500-1 500 RMS Watts x 1 at 2 Ohms. Or i can go with Rockford Fosgate Power T1000-1bd 1000 RMS Watts x 1 at 1 Ohm. I own 2 12'' Alpine Type R 1242-D DVC 4-Ohm. Which am i better going off with? I own a dual vented box if i run it at 1-Ohm you will be able to see speaker wire running out the vent. Or get 2 amps n power each sub separately.

T1000 @ 1 ohm is the only viable option -- out of what you listed -- to optimally push them. It's either 1 ohm or 4 ohms. And nah you can use the terminals on 1 side of the box to wire both subs to the amp no need for wires to be running out the port.
