yeah had planned on the 2 ohm for that exact reason, the amp has the same output at 1 or 2, minus well save power. Already have the y splitters in place and hooked up. Only thing that sucks about that, is it makes it really hard to have a clean looking install with 6 y splitters coming off your RCA's to the amps. Pretty sure I have it all hooked up right. Just saving the cash for the subs. Im going to start the install shortly though. Thanks for the info.

yeah that should do it, just be careful with volume levels and gains.

if its an option, run at 2 ohms. it will stay a little cooler and sound quality is better.

lastly, make sure you get y spliters and fill all 4 rca inputs on the amp, the volume almost doubles. its a jbl power series amp trick, you can do it with and power bp amp. i have a diagram i think, if you dont understand.

Have a 200 amp alt and optima red top already. I think it should be enough.

Hope you have an upgraded charging system and a new battery.

2 1200.1's are gonna draw alotttttt of current.

That isn't bridging it, the BP amps are only 1 channel. I honestly dont see why, even if they are paralleled inside the amp, that you couldn't hook the sub up to any combination of 1 - and 1 +. As far as voice coil configuration, Dual 2 or Dual 1 will both work fine, that amp is stable down to 1 ohm.

my 1200.1 bp is labeled as - + - + with (-) + - (+) being the outputs for bridged. I guess new Bp's arn't labeled for bridging ?

it doesnt matter, just make sure the voice coils are wired to 2 ohms or 1 ohm or whatever, the connectors on the outside of the jbl 1200.1 are just so its easier to hook up 2 subs, both connections are really 1 mono inside the amp. Someone else can probably explain it better.

Ok guys, cant find anything on how to wire my subs to my amp when I get them. The 1200.1 has the outputs for the speaker wire like so - + - +. I am currently running two subs off the amp so it is no problem. I have purchased a second amp and will be running one sub off of each. How do I wire each amp to the sub to get maximum output? I am getting 12" RE XXX subs. Trying to give them the full 1200 watts. What voice coil setup would you recommend for that? Dual 2 ohm wired down to 1 ohm or dual 1 ohm wired to be 2 ohm. I know these amps are stable at 2 ohm but not sure about 1. Back to the amp, would I run [b][size=134]-[/size][/b] + - [b][size=134]+[/size][/b] (wiring out of bolded signs) to each sub, or bridge it so I have - [b][size=134]+[/size][/b] - [b][size=134]+[/size][/b] as the brige and then - + [b][size=134]-[/size][/b] [b][size=134]+[/size][/b] to the sub? Hope this makes sense

Any help is appreciated
Thanks Chris
