If the above doesn't help you, you will need to tell what is the voice coil configuration on the subs, and what are the amp specs!

Rick, do you know the model or anything about the subs? Have to know the coil configuration in order to match anything up!

Yeah - is P psychic ? , i can't figure how he can guess that .

Vibrations from the box will cause components inside the amp to come loose .

Will answer your original ? in a minute .....

If thats what u got
then your subs says 600wrms
& the best that amp can do since it appears it can' be bridged = 2 X 350 Watts RMS @ 2 Ohms

So your amp does not have enough power to match & the best way each sub can be wired into each channel would be like this

Wooferetc did not have the specs clearly listed so i google the models & i saw it on 2 other sites saying it is 1600
- but either 1600/2000 the answer to your original question
the best way each sub can be wired into each channel would be like in the diagram .....

U got me really confused now cause u posted its DVC & your link shows it to be DVC & now your saying something else .

Era your subs not mounted yet or Are your subs in a box already & u are only seeing 2 wires coming out from each side ???????
