How to wire Amp to Sub

Well I have 2 Alpine SWR-1042D  10" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils.  My girlfried got me a Rockford Fosgate Power T8002 Amp.  I was talking to a guy at best buy and he said to wire the subs in series and wire the amp in parrell.  I was wondering if that would be the best way to wire it up and if not how should I wire it up?

Thanks

Well here are your two wiring options for your subs, I personally would go with the 4 ohm setup.

If i went with the 4 Ohms setup then the amp would only be putting out 125W x 2 RMS.  Or are you talking about the 500 W x 1 @ 4 Ohms Bridged RMS.  If so how would i wire it so it is bridged.

Thanks

I am in the same situation with my amp and sub setup. If you scroll down in the car audio install bay forum you will see mine. That diagram is series-parallel with the 4 ohm load requiring you to bridge your 2-channel amp if you want to get the most power.

Yes, you can bridge that amp for 500 watts @ 4 ohms, it should show you how to bridge it in the manual, but generally you would use the positive from one channel and the negative from the other channel.

Well if I am not mistaken, you must present a single 4 ohm load to the amp, so the use the left + and the right -
