cbr,

We need a bit more info. What's the RMS power rating on the subs, & are they single or dual voice coil? Is the 1000 rockford amp 100watts peak or rms? What's the lowest ohm load it's capable of handling?

These are a SVC subwoofer that is rated at 400 watts RMS. I would run these in series and brdge the amp into 2 ohm load. If you were to run the subs in parallel to the amp, you will be running the amp in a 1 ohm load and the amp will over heat.

Run the subs in series ( + to - to + to - to + to - ) and then run the + wire to one channel of the amp and the - to the other channle of the amp in a bridged configuration. I think this is what you are asking, but I'm not sure from your last post.
