Okay, I have been out of the stereo loop for quite a while now and now that I have a better job I am trying to get back into it. I am thinking of picking up a pair of MTX Thunder T7512-44 12" Subwoofers which have 2- 4ohm voice coils. I am wanting to run them off of a pc21400 which i believe i can either run it at 1 or 2 ohm which will put out the most power for them. I have an idea on how the subs need to be wired but I would like to hear from others on how to do it just so I know that I am doing it right. If anyone can help me with it I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks

It'd be helpful if you could give us the specs on that amp...

Here is for a 1 ohm load...

Here is for a 4 ohm load...

That's my opinion. Take it, leave it, or correct me.

Thanks for those diagrams. I think the second one is the one that I will have to use if I am going with the 21400 because the specs are this

350 WRMS x 2 @ 4 ohm per channel

700 WRMS x 2 @ 2 ohm per channle

1400 WRMS x 1 @ 4ohm bridged

So I think the 4 ohm load diagram is the one I will have to go with to get the most power out of that amp Thanks

That's right. Wire them for 4 ohms.
