Wiring question

[AHSinfonia1898 10+ year member]

Hey kinda new at this. So I'm trying to set up 2 10" RE SX's which i haven't bought yet. I do own one orion 1200D but I'm trying to run each of them at 1000W and it is not bridgeable. I was just wondering what my wiring options were. Is there a way to run them off two different amps or do I need to sell mine and get a bigger one? and what impedance do I need the subs to be?

what are the SX's vc config? and what vehicle? 2000w on a small alternator won't work out too well...

Havn't bought them yet they can be D2 or D4.

oh lol I def forgot that part ha

Well with two D2's you can wire to 2ohm and two D4's can be wired to 4ohm (someone chime in here but IIRC also can be wired to 1ohm?)

Ok cool then the next question is can i run these subs off two different amps or do I need to buy a new amp with more wattage?

You could run two different amps but for simplicity I'd run one...just my opinion. Could be easier on your electrical too if it's a decently efficient amp.
