ive been looking, just cant seen to locate one?

Im looking to wire PROPERLY, 2 amps per sub, each sub is 3600 watts max dual 4 ohm 15" subs. FYI all 4 i plan to install into a 93 ext cab s-10, so... if theres a set rule for this action please fill me in,

thanks

ken

No rules to speak of... Any person qualified to install such, should also understand why the setup is not a common configuration, so you're all good. I'd love to see how it turns out.

Most would install one amplifier per DVC 4 ohm sub, making each amplifier loaded at 2 ohms.  If you just happen to have four smaller amplifiers that you need to use, you would be connecting one voice coil per amp, at a load of 4 ohms on each.  State your gear's manufacturers and models for better help.
Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

sorry,

 I have 4 of the pyle 15" dvc 4ohm subs, max is 3600 watts, i have no amps i can use evenly,(ie i have 3 new 2500 rockfords,5 - 3000 watt boss amps,2 lanzaar max 4000 watters... so i might sell some to get 8 of the same or buy more to make up the lesser of the amps?

 i believe the RMS of each sub is 1800 @14.4v?

all zero gauge wire,ANL 350amp fuses, deck is the OLD alpine bass work deck, with all the bells and whistles from around the early 90's.

i know what i know to be true, and i will ask questions too.

I laughed sooo hard it hurts!!
I would suggest that u use one of the fosgate's at 1 ohm.
which model fosgate do u have?
If its a power series then there is PLENTY of power there to rip those pyle pro apart.

Ok...Ok.. give or take a watt or two....why not! I mean first they are putting out power, but now they are giving ratings too!
TWO ZAPCO 4kw cubes! That's my vote! 8-g's for 8-g's of amplification, that outta make a mess of those Pyle's eh?
Or, 8-T1k's, plenty of room for those in a ex-cab p/u!
This is what I do for FUN!

ok i missed the joke i guess?

if its 3600 watts max, then by rights a safe guss is 1/2 of max was the RMS level? 

and yes power series,I understand steve meade is running them now ?

i know what i know to be true, and i will ask questions too.

LOL. the joke was the 14 volts. thats not a rating for a woofer. lol
anyways, yeah the t25001Bd will definetly be Enough to feed these speakers.
Wire them in parallel, and parallel to the amp. 1 ohm load, for maximum power out of the amp.
Now, lets talk serious.
The enclosure you choose will have the most significant effect on your install, more than which of your amps you choose. Need a speaker model #.

ok, ty, umm the first subs were going to be the PLCHW15 from pyle. Sold them last night, monday i will have  $1200 to order 4 more subs in that price range, so here are my ideas:

#1 lanzar opti drive 12" #opti1233D 6000 watt max

#2 RE audio xxx12D 2000 watts RMS

#3 hifonics OLM2412 12" 4800 watts max

#4 ?? any suggestions..

ALL of my choices above will be a order of four  (4) subs.

also FYI i will be paying wholesale, not retail...long story.

i know what i know to be true, and i will ask questions too.

i know what i know to be true, and i will ask questions too.
