I am going to be installing two MTX 4000 in a baffle in the back of a Camaro. I will be pushing the subs with a Phase Linear amp.(100x 2) It is bridgeable. The subs are 4 ohm. How could I wire this up for the most power? Could I wire them in series and then bridge them to the amp? Any help on this matter would be great. Thanks again. Brian

Depends on the amp . If the amp is stable to 2 ohms then use this configuration:

If they are SVC 4 ohm subs then the above configuration will give you a 2 ohm load.
