okay so i bought 2 t1 12" rockford fosgates from a guy in a huge custom box with a power acoustik crypt series cptd1 2200d mono block for 300 bucks.i went to my local audio store just to look around and they wanted to see my system,idk if they were trying to sell stuff or what but he said my amp is underpowering my subs by alot and i need a much larger one.i understand rms,peak and all that stuff,but im lost when it comes to ohms,and such.i have no idea what my ohms are on my subs,and it would help a lot if i knew or if one of u guys could steer me in the right direction with what i should get for an amp or if i should keep the amp on it.the box has 4 wires coming from the back 2- and 2+ so i have the negatives twined together in the -port and the 2 positives tied together in the positive port.can anyone tell me what my ohm wiring is or do i need to take the subs out to look or what.im totally lost here and need some help.these things sure do hit hard to be apparently underpowered.The subs are the older style t1s the silver ones.

Alright so I just picked up an Audison LRx 4.300 and have a quick question about bridging it. It is rated for 220 rms @ 4 ohms bridged and isn't stable below 4 ohms when bridged. I would like to run it in 3 channel mode with my front end off the first 2 channels and my sub off the bridged channel. The sub I am looking at is an AA assassin. The problem is that the assassin only comes in a d4 coil configuration. So I am wondering if I wire the sub down to 2 ohms then expect to see at least 1.5 ohm box rise this brings my final ohm load to 3.5-4 ohms that the amp actually sees. Does this make sense and will it work without risking the amp? Thanks! Matt
