How should I wire this system?

Right now, I have 2 1222D Alpine Type R's, which have dual 2 ohm voice coils. I want to run them off of a Rockford P8002 Amplifier, with a peak power of 2400 Watts. How should I wire these? I tried it at an 8 Ohm load, and it barely puts out anything. Please let me know...Jimmy

ur amp does
200 W x 2 @ 4 Ohms RMS

so the most u can do is wire each sub like this into each channel
Upload

even if u bridge the 2 chan ur sub will only be getting like 200wrms
if u want 2 keep that amp return ur subs for the 4ohms dvc version or bets if u do the better thing hwich is getting a mono amp .....

If I did get a mono amp, how much more power would it put out?

those subs r 500wrms each = 1000wrms

u r underpowering it by less than 1/2

get a good mono that does 1000/1200wrms @ 2ohms & the difference u will hear will be like night/day ...
