I purchased an Autotek MX 2000 and two 12" RF Punch HE2s and would like to know the best way to wire them to get the most out of them. The amp is rated @ 500Wx1 into 4ohms, 750Wx1 into 2ohms, and 1200Wx1 into 1ohms. The speakers are 4ohms and rated @ 400W RMS and 800W peak. Could someone please help me.

Connecting the voice coils of each driver in parallel (+ to +, - to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.) will be the best bet for the amplifier. This will utilize the amp's power the best while still maintaining good sub control.
