Quick (and probably very easy) question:

Old RF 500.2:  250 Watts RMS X 2 @ 2 ohms and 500 Watts RMS X 1 @ 4 ohms

I just ordered 1 Alpine 2 ohm type R 12 (DVC). 

Would it make ANY difference wiring each coil separately to the two channels vs wiring coils in series bridged?

I only have 1 terminal on my box...so i'm leaning towards the series method unless there is some reason to do otherwise?

Thanks all, much appreciated.

The amp will make the same exact amount of power into a 4 ohm mono load or a 2 ohm stereo load.
