cbr,

We need a bit more info. What's the RMS power rating on the subs, & are they single or dual voice coil? Is the 1000 rockford amp 100watts peak or rms? What's the lowest ohm load it's capable of handling?

If you can look on one of the subs and get the model #.

These are a SVC subwoofer that is rated at 400 watts RMS. I would run these in series and brdge the amp into 2 ohm load. If you were to run the subs in parallel to the amp, you will be running the amp in a 1 ohm load and the amp will over heat.

Run the subs in series ( + to - to + to - to + to - ) and then run the + wire to one channel of the amp and the - to the other channle of the amp in a bridged configuration. I think this is what you are asking, but I'm not sure from your last post.
