Hi so I recently purchased 2 12" memphis m3 mojos dual 2ohm voice coils rated at 750w rms. I believe they're probaly underrated. The sensitivity at 2.83 volts is 89.89. I`m trying to figure out different ways to wire them, and then purchase the necessary amp/amps.

I`m leaning towards getting a sinlge amp and wiring them in a series to 2ohms. I would wire them to the Memhpis Mojo amp which is 2000x1@2ohms rms power.

Or else I'd try running them seperate to a smaller memphis class D amp, rated at 1100x1@1 ohms?

Which way is the more efficient way to run this setup?

The necessary amplifier to run this pair of subs is a mono amp.  Choose one that is rated to provide RMS power at 2 ohms.  About 1000 watts at 2 ohms should be your goal.  Choose the best quality amplifier that you can afford.

Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.
