I have 2-RFD2208 8 inch dual 4ohm 400RMS subs. I am looking to wire them with a RF 800.2(400w RMSx2 at 2ohms)

Will this work? How do I wire?

yes. wire the vc's of each sub in parallel to one channel of the amp per sub.

J.W. Thanks for the help. On that page you linked, do I follow the diagram right before the water pump examples start?

Hey J.W. or anyone, sorry to throw another curve.

The only other amp I am looking at is a Kicker KX650.4 that is 325RMSx2(bridged) 4 ohms stable. I am unsure how to make a 4 channel amp into 2 channels and then hookem up to my 4ohm DVC subs.

Help??

Money is kind of an issue.. would there be a problem with the Kicker?

you'd be ok with that kicker amp. just bridge it to two channels. check the manual on what's the exact hookup. pretty sure that amp is bridgable. what's your budget?

Thanks, I could get the RF amp just a bit of a stretch money wise. What is the main advantage it has over the Kicker?

i'm not a big fan of RF's new amps. kicker makes better amps right now. if you're not set on getting something new, i would look for an older orion on eBay. the XTR800.2 would destroy either of those amps. ppi PC class amps are good also.
