I picked up 2 12" JVC Warren G Subwoofers CS-WG1200, and Kenwood KAC-8101D Amp. I'm basically wondering what would be the best way to wire this up to get the best sound possible. Also would like to know if this is a good setup. Here are the specs of the stuff I got.
Amp: Maximum Output Power: 1000 Watts RMS Power Output at 2 Ohms: at 14.4V (100Hz, 0.5% THD): 400 Watts x 1 RMS Power Output at 4 Ohms,:at 14.4V (20Hz 200Hz, 0.5% THD): 200 Watts x 1 Selectable Infrasonic Filter: Off/15/25Hz, 18dB per Octave Variable Low Pass Electronic Crossover: 50Hz-200Hz, 18dB per Octave Bass Boost: Off/+12dB (90Hz) Secondary Capacitors: 2 Large MonoBlock Class D Operation 2-Ohm Stable
Subs: 12" Subwoofer 1000 Watts Maximum Music Power Glass Fiber Cone with Rubber Surround Aluminum Die Cast Basket Aluminum / El Wire 4-layer (Dual Voice Coil) Rubberized PVC Gasket Black Polycotton Spider Damper Nickel Plated Screw Terminals Frequency response: 20 - 1,500 Hz Impedance: Dual 4 Ohm Mounting Hole: 11.22" Mounting depth: 5.2"
well thos subs do not match up to that amp very well, it needs to be ran at 4ohm only, it is not stable for 1ohm and will burn the amp up, , if so you prob wont even see 200 to them.

Then I also found these specs, does this mean i can run them on a 1ohm load??
