Hey I was wantin yalls opinion on this. I've got 2 kicker cvr 12's ordered and there goin to be going in a sealed box. I've got a Memphis PR300.2 to push them for right now. There DVC and I was wonderin if it would be better to wire them in parallel and leave the amp in stereo mode to put 2 ohms into each channel,or to wire them in series for a 4 ohm load and bridge the amp over to mono. Tell me which one yall think I should do.

that amp my handle a 1 ohm load if so great run it at 1 ohm if not go 4 ohms mono or 2 ohms you should get about the same power but with the 4 ohm mono your T.H.D level will be lower
