Wiring up T-Rex 10' 2ohm

[OllieT]

Right guys, this might sound bit daft but I'm trying to figure out how to wire up my sub properly. I got a bd audio T-Rex 10inch 3000w speaker, it's a double coil 2 ohm each. So each coil is 2ohm and I want to run it at 2 ohm so does that matter what side terminal I use or there is a difference? It can run 1000w rms at 2 ohms and this is what I want to push out of it. I can wire it up at 1ohm or 4 ohms but I don't want to. The amp I got is a kenwood monoblock it supports 4 ohm at 500w rms and 2 ohm at 1000w rms. So on a speaker both sides are at 2 ohm so to with side I should wire it up? Or does that matter , can I choose any? Tried to find an answer on google but all I could find is how to wire up in series and other options but nothing about this

You're **** outta luck. You can't run a dvc 2 ohm sub at 2 ohms.

Thanks bud and so that mean I must wire up up to 4ohm? Can't do 1 ohm as amp don't support it

Is getting a 1 ohm stable amp out of the question? Sound like that sub can handle more than your current amp can throw at it.

Thing is when purchased sub also brought a new monoblock at same time. Always had a single coil subs and this my first with dvc so I'm new to this type. Think I will wire it up to 4ohm and run at stable 500w rms from amp
