Wiring 2 JBL subs?

Hi guys!!! I"m a newbie to this forum seeking for some help...

I recently bought 2 JBL subs (just for SQ and a little bit of thump just 4 fun), to install tehm in a sealed box enclosure. The car is a 1995 Mitsubishi Eclipse...

The Sub Specs:

• (2) JBL GTO1204D
• 12"
• 300W RMS
• 1200W Peak
• Dual 4-ohm Voice Coils (DVC)
• Sensitivity 93dB

DOES THE SUBS RUN @ 4 OHMS ON EACH COIL OR IN TOTAL FOR EACH SUB?

The problem:

• 2 different choices of amps (mono blocks) to power 2 of this puppies (one or the other) 
• The first:
• RMS: 200W x 1ch @ 4 ohms
• Peak: 400W x 1ch @ 4 ohms
• RMS: 350W x 1ch @ 2 ohms
• Peak: 700W x 1ch @ 2 ohms
• The second:
• RMS: 310Wx 1ch @ 4 ohms
• Peak: 650W x 1ch @ 4 ohms
• RMS: 500W x 1ch @ 2 ohms
• Peak: 1000W x 1ch @ 2 ohms

WHICH AMP WOULD WE BEST SUITED FOR THE JOB?

HOW CAN I WIRE EACH SUB TO THE MONO BLOCK AMP IN OTHER TO MAKE IT WORK?

• PARALLEL/PARALLEL
• SERIES/PARALLEL

THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

So the subs are 4 ohms each or 2?  Is the load total for each coil or the entire sub?

The best way to go would be 4 ohm load serial/parallel connection?

And by the way, the subs come in parallel connection rigth out of the box (4ohms per sub I think). So that means that I should change them serial?

The amps are:

• Profile Baja
• HA700M
• HA1000M

Each coil would be 4 ohms.  Series/parallel is the way to go with these.  The second amp choice puts out the most power into 4 ohms so that would be the way to go between those choices...more about that.

If subs are wired, remove the wiring and refer to https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=42.

Best SQ with a Profile amp is at 4 ohms, no doubt...but the power will probably not be what you expect it to be with the low-end Baja line.  Consider this:  you will have a bit of time and effort, not to mention expense...and expectations of greatness... with your new sub system.  Shop for a two-channel amp that, when bridged with a 4 ohm load, puts out power in the range of 500 watts.  As long as your car's electrical system can withstand the extra demands a two-channel amp will make on it (which will be a bit more than a mono amp, especially at 4 ohms), that might be your best recourse.  As a former Profile buyer, I'm not entirely against their use but I know they are cheap amps with a nickel's worth of value.  Respect the name of JBL and power those subs appropriately.  If the subs were bought on a Blue Light special, I'd say sure, go for it.

One question still remain... since the subs are 300W each, that mean that I ahould be shopping for a 600W amp @ 4 ohms... either 1ch or a 2ch in bridge mode? They're JBL's, I want to power these baby the way they should...

Thanks guys for all the help guys!!!! I really apriciate it!!!

  Hi guys... sorry that I haven't been in this las couple of days, but I just got a an amp that provides:

• 720 Watts RMS @ 4 ohms x 1ch on bridge mode...

Will this be TOO much to power these two subs...??? each sub handles 300 Watts
