I have a mmats class d 700.2 amp and 2 12" pro-cast dual voice coil subs at 4 ohms and 700 rms each sub. Can this amp handle both subs or is better to just go with just one sub for this particular amp? And if I do go with just one sub, how do I wire the sub to the amp since it has 2 voice coils. If possible, please give step-by-step instructions. Please help...

I would suggest using one sub with this amp because with the provided drivers you would not be able to wire the amp down to two ohms so you would not be able to get the max power out of them amp. With this said wiring would be easy. Just take both negative leads off the sub and connect it to the negative speaker terminal on one side of the amp, then take both positive leads on the sub and hook it up to the positive side of the amp opposite to the negatives. Is the amp marked as to which terminals are used for bridging. If it is then use those, if not then let us know, hopfully someone will have first hand experience and be able to tell you which terminals to use.
