no.

you can wire the sub like this

or like this

The P6002 is not stable at a 2ohm load bridged so you have to go with the 8ohm configuration.

This should give you half of the 600 W x 1 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS which would be 300w RMS.

Your speaker has a 400W RMS rating doesn't it. This should be enough. Have you tried it?

If you buy another W6V2 you could bridge them to get a 4ohm load giving you the 600w RMS. This would be doubling the surface area giving you a 3db increase is sound pressure. I'm not sure if this means that it will sound twice as loud. Does anybody know?

It takes 10db to sound twice as loud. 3db is actually a rather small gain, sorry.

i told you how to wire it, hook each voice coil up to each channel. thats the safest for your amp and you arent going to lose any real performance. as i recall the amp is 150x2@4ohms rms. your box design will help the volume, but it truly is a pure sq sub. i have the same one. save up, get a second one, and a 2 channel amp that can put out 400rms each channel. the way i designed my box for my single 12, if i put any more than 300watsrms into, the sub would be dead. question kfr, should he use a ysplitter to get the same signal to each channel for the 2 vc's, or should he be fine without it? i would to be safe but im not a fan of splitting signals

pure sq sub? I would not call a 145db on the term lab with 2 12 w6v2 a pure sq sub. thats like calling eclipse a pure sq sub. These subs and most others will take 2 to 3 times thier recommended power if set up properly, when I had my one 10w6v2 I ran 2 fosgate 800a2's on it, pounded all day and is still hitting to this day nearly 3 years later

There's no need to use a splitter when bridging the amp.

I think he was saying if he wanted to use one channel per coil, Not recommended unless you can adjust the gains properly..and I mean very very accurate. Then I would use a y splitter to get the same source to left and right channels. Really you would be better and safter to find a amp that is either a mono block producing power at 2 ohm, or a 2 channel that is 1 ohm stable
