okay guys im new here and stilll learning about car audio im not stupid just wanting to learn more any how okay i just ordered 2 re se 12 2ohm subs now i need an amp somthing that will put out between 600 and 800 rms at a stable 20hm ive been looking i found a mmat for 190 and a xtant 600.1 amp for 150 any help would be great

wire them in parallel get 1 ohm amp

you should of ordered 2 dual 4 ohm subs than you could of wired them to 1 ohm.

so i can wire them to take a 10hm load? and can order a 1ohm stable amp?

1ohm i mean

and will if fry the amp from working to hard

They don't take impedance (i.e. they don't take 1 ohm, 2 ohm, etc), they are impedance and present that load to the amplifier. That's why wiring them to the amp correctly is so important. Wiring the voice coils in parallel (+ to + , - to - on the same speaker wire) will effectively halve your impedance load on the amplifier for two speakers. Low impedance can also appear as a short to some amplifiers, that's why we need to be sure it's stable at the level we want it to operate at, otherwise the amp goes into protection, or internal damage can occur.

No you cant wire them to a 1 ohm each of your speakers is dual 2 ohm so you need to wire each speaker in parallel to 1 ohm the wire them together in series for a 2 ohm load. that 600-800 rms is per speaker you need something from 1-1.2kw output @ 2ohm

Correct. I neglected to look at the specs on those subs and was assuming single voice coils. I should have known better anyway as the majority of them are dual voice coils.

okay anybody got the hook up on an amp that does 800-1200 rms with out me having to change to a h.o alt or can i use a cap?
