The speakers are dual voice coil with ___ Ohm coils. What is the minimum safe operating impedance of the 1200 watt power acoustik amplifier?

You need to wire the voice coils of each woofer in parallel. Then connect one speaker to each channel of the amp.

This is to be done on each channel of the amp. Do not bridge the amp.

Option 1 (parallel) = 2 ohm load

Voice coils wired in parallel

Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono

It sounds like your amp is going into protection. Does it have a Protect light on it? When it shuts off, is this light on instead of the power light?
