This is an awesome, totally awesome amplifier. Ensure that you have a very good ground. This is a killer large amplifier with 200 amps of fusing in it. Make sure that the entire power and ground system is up to par to ensure that amplifier can do it's job properly. I have had one come back for warranty so far. The customer shorted his remote on wire and burned a trace right off of the board. End result, new board if and when Eclipse sends one to the repair depot.

Sounds like you know your stuff..Have you read my earlier posts do I sound right in setting this amp up? I will run two DVC 8122 subs in parallel one sub to each channel which would be a 2ohm load to each channel.. Do I set the amp to L+R instead of mono?   Any advice would be great I have never played with a 2 channel sub amp before.. My current setup is a USAcoustics USX1000D which is 1250watts RMS @ 12 volts with a 1ohm load. I have the amp running a 1ohm load...

The 8122 is a perfect sub for that amp - actually ANY of the Ti woofers are good for it too... I am running a single 9122 with ALL of the amp dedicated to it... It is a stereo amp, it is dual mono, and cannot be bridged. Personally, I would take Eclipse's recommendation, and use (and I DO use) the L+R switch setting - you will maintain more of all of the bass information in your recording... In the car, with those wavelengths, you will have mono ANYWAY, even though I have not come across ANY stereo recording in about the last ten years where the bass is recorded in mono. I can always hear stereo information in my home stereo, but never in the car - the cabin is too small, and the drivers are too close together, to maintain true stereo separation.
Rob is right, tho - make sure you are VERY meticulous about your power and ground - that thing is a CURRENT MONSTER!
Did someone say 34C?, short chick? sweeeeet... Add a flat head, and you'll have something to market there! Eclispe DA7232 and 2 Eclispe SW8122DVC - Page 2 -- posted image.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

Cool!!!!!! My main power is 1/0 gauge and have the battery and chassis grounded with 1/0 gauge. I used just 4 gauge for power and ground to the amp for thats the biggest it can fit... I still have to set my gain properly which I will do tomorrow with a mulitmeter and test disc.

By the way what did you set you gain to has far has using a multimeter and test tone?  If the amp is 1000watts x2 into 2ohm load per channel which I have with my sub setup I guess my output voltage at speaker leads should be somewhere around 46 volts AC.

The formula I have is 1000x2 then squared but not sure if this is right...Never tried to figure out a 2 channel amp sub amp before...
