I just bought 2x Kicker SoloClassic s12c 12" subs. they are 2ohm dual voice coil. I am running a Kicker KX1200.1 amp, that is 1200 watts rms at 1ohm. I found diagrams on this website that shows how I can wire it up, my problem is its giving me the option of running at 0.5ohms, or 2 ohms. my amp can't handle the 0.5ohms and I'm thinking that running it at 2 ohms won't be giving them enough power because the amp will be running at half power. Any ideas?

Thanks

Anthony

Since you already have the equipment, run the amp into the 2 ohm load and see if it does what you need it to do. For future reference, it is usually a good idea to buy the right woofers for the amp you have. Or Vice Versa.

Yeah, you bought the wrong subs. Should've gone with dual 4ohm.
