Will this work?

I was looking into getting 2 IDQ12 D4. Will the US Acoustics USX-800D work for these 2 subs? If so how should I hook them up? Thanks

i am not familiar with either model... what are the specs...rms watts & ohms for the subs and the amp. how many voice coils and the ohms for each and how many channels is the amp.

 

[bloodyogre]

The subs are dual 4 ohms and can handle 350 RMS. The amp is a mono 400 RMS at 4 ohms and 600 watts at 2 ohms, 2 ohm stable class D.

with two DVC 4ohm subs you will get either a 4 ohm or 1 ohm load for a mono amp. in your case (4 ohm the only option) that means 200w rms to each sub. 150w below their rms rating but should sound pretty good. but i think those subs are power hungry so they would be better off getting anywhere from 300w rms to 450w rms to play to their fullest potential. but, like i said before it sounds like a pretty good set up! you will not do any harm by underpowering your subs... just extending their life expectancy.

Check out what I found about this amp...

Speaker Output: This is a Class D subwoofer amplifier. There are two +/- pair of terminals, but they are connected together internally, and they provide mono output. If two 4-ohm speakers are connected, one to each set of terminals, the amplifier will see a 2-ohm load, because the terminals are internally connected in parallel with each other.

i know... some mono amps have a second set of speaker terminals to make wiring easier.
