I currently have 2 12" DC lvl4 XL D2 coil subs running on a RF T1k (power elite series) Any ways I ordered a DC PAI 3000.1 amp. WHen I go to wire it up what would be the best way?

1) Wire them down to 1 ohm (each speaker separately) and have 2 sets of wires running to the amp??

or

2) Wire them together @ 2 ohm and run one set of wires to the amp??

or

3) Wire them together @ 2 ohm and run them bridged??

Also not sure if these are correct but its what I found on the net.

PAI 3000.1

rms power, 1ohm mono - 3000w x 1ch

rms power, 2ohm mono - 1500w x 1ch

rms power, 4ohm mono - 750w x 1ch

rms power, 2ohm linked - 5400w x 1ch

could only do this is the amp is .5 ohm stable

2) Wire them together @ 2 ohm and run one set of wires to the amp??

i'd say this would be your best and safe bet of doing it, just my .02

3) Wire them together @ 2 ohm and run them bridged??

its a mono block amp not a 2 channel amp so you could only bridged them if you had 2 of the amps strapped

just my 2 cents on it

You can only get a 2ohm load or a 0.5ohm load final at the amp.

Series each woofer, than parallel those two pos and neg leads to the amp.

The double outputs on the amplifier are internally bridged, if you parallel each woofer to each output, you'll end up with a 0.5ohm final load.

It's a Zenon amp so it'd take it decently, but if you're rolling a stock charging system, I'd highly not reccomend it.

Whats up TCCA buddy, If I were you, I would wire them in series with each other, then parallel to the amplifier.
