you can wire them to 1 ohm but youll need a new amp imo. you bought 2 amps at $225? you could have bought 1 amp at nearly the same price that is able to run both subs at 1 ohm. imo get a new amp thats rated 2k watts rms at 1 ohm. wire the subs to the amp at 1 ohm and just turn the gain down a little bit youll probably get somewhere around 750+ watts to each sub

im not sure someone correct me if im wrong on the wattage, i run rms rated amps so i dunno if that would be right. i just switched out my 3 tens back to my xfl 12's with a 150.1 ab amp.

Hook the fucking subs up the way I showed you! I get paid to do this shit every day.
I have done the same thing with the same amp! It's a monoblock (one channel) yes but you can hook both subs up to that one channel.

According to the manual these amps basically suck and don't make much more power at 1 ohm than they do at 2. If this is correct then you'd be better off keeping them both.

What dr_deranged is saying will work though.

[QUOTE=dr_deranged,Apr 19 2013 09:40pm]http://i37.tinypic.com/ie1rgy.pn youll need 4 pieces of wire for each sub man, then just run the neg and pos from each sub into the terminals on the amp, you can use all 4 terminals on the amp or just 2 both negaitves from each sub to 1 negative on the amp and same with the positives, it will work BUT you amp lacks the power to run both subs good. thats not a true rms rated amp so your def not gettin 900 watts at 1 ohm period. if u have a 1k watt amp at 1 ohm. running 2 subs your power is goin to be split in half to each sub. so take 1000 / 2 is 500 watts that amp is gunna runa to each sub. IF that those subs are dual 4 ohm? they can be wired to 1 ohm but your amp aint gunna power them good enough. get a diff amp. id get at least a 2k watt amp. a god site to look for some cheap beter amps sonicelectronics.com or caraudiodeals.com
