I just received my AudioBahn A2502DP amp today and iam going to pair it along with 2 AudioBahn 12's AW121T 550W RMS / 1100W / single voice coil. I was wondering what will be the best wiring that i can do for this combo.

Amp-
RMS Power (4 ohms) 250 watts x 2 ch.
RMS Power (2 ohms) 500 watts x 2 ch.
RMS Power (1 ohm) 750 watts x 2 ch.
Bridged RMS Power 500 watts x 1 (4 ohms); 1000 watts x 1 (2 ohms)

I was wondering how to wire my subs in a 2 ohm load, i already wired them in a Q-Logic ported box.

Sub-
http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_1461.html thats all the info for it. To make the question simple, how do i wire into a 2 ohm load to atleast get 1000w rms out of the both subs?

:help:

well, they are 4 ohm subs. if they are ran parallel into the bridged channel, that will give you a 2 ohm load, and the supposedly 1000w rms the amp supposedly produces. I doubt that is RMS power btw, i looked it up and it didnt mention either RMS or MAX....that usually means its max and they just don't want to say.

Its RMS, ive checked and doubled and checked about 10 times, peak power its said to be 3000W Approx. To wire it in parallel would i have to take the subs out of the box and and re wire them ?

Peak power is meaningless. RMS is what you should be concerned with.

Wiring them in parallel is just hooking each + and - to the + and - of the amp. A series wiring would involve wiring the subs to each other. To bridge the amp, follow the directions in it's manual or printed by the speaker terminals. *Note* both +'s and -'s will have to go to the same spot from each sub.
