Trying to figure out the best way to wire up 1 15" dvc sub for the most power. I have a 2 Channel 1000 watt amp that is 2ohm stable. What do you think?

Depends on how many ohms is the voice coil is and how much power the sub can take. If its a 4 ohm voice coils you can run it parralel and that will bring it to 2 ohms, make sure the watts does not exceed the max power of the sub. If it does you will have to run it at 4 ohms so to do that you will have to run it in series. If the voice coil is 2 ohm you MUST run it in series. Again becareful that it does not exceed the max wattage of the sub.

According to the website these amps are not stable at 2 ohms bridged, so your best bet is to run it in stereo, each voice coil hooked up to a channel. -------------

that amp is not listed as 2ohm stable bridged . i have ran a couple crunch amps @ 2 ohms bridged they ran hot but worked OK. that would make your set up louder, but will make the life of your amp much shorter. what 15" sub do you have ? ------------- 1974 ford pinto 4 15" punch Z power punch bd 1001 pioneer DEH-6700

yea i bridged it and it gets hot but never turns off so i'll keep it for now. I have or had two Alphasonik 400 series 15's but now its only one. It sounds ok but i will be change it up soon need more bump in tha trunk.
