Hey guys I got 2  12 inch alpine Type R Subs(1242D) in a sealed box, i have them wired into a 2 ohm now, I also have a mtx 500d(2) one for each sub, my question is since i have 4 speaker wires coming from the amp, and I only have on jack for each sub, how do i wire the amps speaker outputs, do i do the amp speaker wires the same as i did the subs

Let me see if I understand what your saying.

  • You have two subs in a sealed box.  Are they in separate chambers?  This should be done because you are powering each sub with a separate amplifier.
  • You have two D-class mono amps, one for each sub.
  • Each sub is a dual 4 ohm model and wired to 2 ohms each.
  • Each sub has wires that terminate at a jack plate on the box.  So the box has two separate terminal cups.
  • The amps have dual speaker connection availablity.

If so, use only one set of terminals on each amplifier for speaker hookup.  Wire sub A to amp A, pos and neg to one set of terminals.  Do the same with sub and amp B.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
