I have got 2 Audiobahn 10 inch Flame Excursion subwoofers. They are both 4 ohm. I think they peak at 900 watts. I was wondering what the perfect amplifier would be to run these at about 400/450 watts each. Any suggestions would be helpful.

If you are using that enclosure then yes indeed it is ported. It's actually a band-pass system but they do not give us the tuning information. Do you know if your speakers are designed for use in a bandpass enclosure? What is their model number?

If the woofers are single voice coil 4-ohm speakers rated for 450 watts, then any mono amplifier capable if up to 900 watts @ 2-ohms is your ticket. If they are DVC woofers, then you'll need an amplifier capable of 900 watts @ 4-ohms, or @ 1-ohm.

Look for an amp with with 800 watts rms, Are those dvc's? if they are look for a monoblock that is 2 ohm stable. The reason I say 800 is beacuse audiobahn over-rates everything they sell. If your looking at audiobahn amps shoot high.....

the model number is AW101T. They are SVC's. my next amp questions are, first, which specific amplifier would be best for my setup and, second, would this wiring diagram be correct? 2 subs but need the right amp -- posted image.

Diagram is correct. I think DYohn said this, you need an amp capable of up to 900 watts (rms), mono bloc and 2 ohm stable. There are many amps out there fitting this description, it all depends on what floats your boat......

how about the Power Acoustik A1000DB. here are some specs...

RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 450W x 1 @ 4 Ohms

Bridged RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 800W x 1 @ 2 Ohms

Amplifier Type: Mono

Is this about what I'm looking for?
