amp specs:
AP1000
Peak Output Power (4 Ohms): 320W x 2
RMS Output Power (4 Ohms) : 160W x 2
Peak Output Power (2 Ohms): 500W x 2
RMS Output Power (2 Ohms): 240W x 2
Bridged RMS Output Power (4 Ohms): 480W x 1
MOSFET Power Supply: Yes (Dual)
Total Harmonic Distortion: <0.05%
Signal / Noise Ratio: 103 dB
High/Low Level Converter (Male RCA): Yes
Pre-Amp (RCA) Outputs: Yes
Variable Bass Boost at 45Hz: 0 - 12 dB
Variable Treble Boost at 8kHz: No
12dB/Octave Crossover(High Pass/Full/Low Pass): HP/Full/LP
Variable LP Crossover Frequency: 50 - 250 Hz
Variable HP Crossover Frequency: 80 Hz - 1.2 kHz
Bass Level Remote Control (16.4 ft): No
Variable 12dB/Octave Subsonic Filter: No
Variable Phase Control: No
Fuse (s): 2 x 30A

speaker specs:

parallel wiring:

Re: series vs parallel wiring

since there dual 4 ohm, wire them in parrele and then hook up to each sub. carefull @ full power though, thats close to the max

Re: series vs parallel wiring

2 options

Series/Parallel Mono or Parallel in stereo...wattage will be the same either way however with series/parallel mono you dont have to worry about screwing up polarity and getting subs out of phase.

Re: series vs parallel wiring

if the amp is bridgeable the negative from one channel and the positive fomr another, read your manual
