wait. If I run my two 12's series. Positive to negitve I get an 8 ohm load, then I bridge the amp to 2 ohm and the final out come is above 4 ohm right? I was thinking parallel which would have been 2 ohms at the subs and 2 ohms at the amp equaling 1 ohm load. so can I run parallel and acheive a 4 ohm load and push a little more power out of the amp or am I jsut doing a lot of fancy wiring to get 150x1 not 300x1. Is it posible to wire my 2 SVC 4ohm subs to get 300x1 or is it imposible?

You're saying parallel where you should be saying series... a lot.  This will give you 150 watts total:

2 SVC woofers wired in series

Already told you how to get 300 watts, and it ain't with two woofers.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

so I might as well run each sub to each channel at 75watts a sub. Thanks for the advice. your diagram is series or parallel. What you have pictured I was calling series. thats how the calculator on this site makes series look. The site makes parallel look like all + go to the + on the amp and all - go to the - on the amp.

.........uh, if you would take just a little more time to look at it, you'll see it's labelled

so how was I getting parallel and series mixed up? I think I was descrbing them right. I guess Im just not very good at describing my situation. sorry about that. So tomorrow Ill see what 75x2 sounds like.

Top of the page....you were stating load on the amp as per channel throughout the paragraph.  Then this sentence, which would have described the per channel load if the subs were wired in series.

I think you can explain everything just fine, but I believe you hurry it a little too much  :)

Oh, damn, no wonder...................your name is quick!
