Question about speakers/amp

I'm getting this amp in about 3 weeks http://www.techronics.com/index.cfm?...TOKEN=37876920
I already have 2 12' speakers 1000 watts max a piece, should I hook just 1 up or hook both up in series?

RE: Question about speakers/amp

depends on what impedence the subs are and how many voice coils they have.

RE: Question about speakers/amp

for both subs, you will have to get an amp that puts out its power at 1 or 4 ohms. That amp wont really work for you.

RE: Question about speakers/amp

That amp will work if I wire them in parrell instead of series, the amp will just see one 2 ohm speaker, correct?

RE: Question about speakers/amp

it will work if you only want to use 1 sub. It will work with both subs but they will be underpowered.
