What's the best amp for two of these? And wire them at 2 ohms or 4?

Depends on your budget, but these are budget starter subs, so something light life 600rms so like 300 watts a piece n 2 ohms if possible you wouldn't get all your wattage @ 4ohm but 4 ohms is the safest for these speakers "cant" take constant beating

Great speaker for the price I have used hifonics for years as a mecp installer and they have been a over expectation

I have the hifonic 1000w amp, and you cant do 2 so I got stuck with the 4. Ive had them for a while now and they still wang!!! Best bang for your buck, I got them for $32 each so I cant complain but now I want something more.

Depend what you are hooking up to this amp make sure your in the right ohm load if not it's best to get 2 amps like this

Absolutely id wire them in parallel. I have my two in a 4 cubic foot of tuned at 32hz ran with a hifonics Brutus 2000.1 wired at 2ohms and it impresses a lot of people. So you will love them especially with more power.

I don't remember if this amp is rated to 2 ohms. If it's not you'll cook it not matter how many fans you put in there. To answer your power questions, 2 ohms puts out about double the power compared to 4 ohms if I'm not mistaking. Also you need to make sure the speaker can run at 2 ohms. In short if your stuff is rated at 2 ohms and the amp can go down that low then you'll be happy. If nothing is rated for 2 ohms you'll be unhappy real fast.

I ran 1ohm with 2 of these cause they can be dropped to 2 ohms a piece when running in sequence then I sequenced both sub's together to get 1 ohm so if you have two then yes

It depends on the sound you want your sub to deliver...2 ohm will be a deeper low bass and 4 ohm willl be more overall bass...I prefer a 2 ohm sub...I switch from 4 to 2.

That's a quite complex question you should look it up online to know more. Simply said you can play a sub at 1,2 or 4 ohm. It's takes a weaker amp to power at 1 but it also puts more stress on the speakers. At 4 ohm it would be hard to fully supple the power. Your best bet is to look up wiring for 2 ohm or 4 ohm subs and match it with what is in your car or when your planning to have. You can't simply say one is better than other. Amplifiers have diffrent ohm they supply to depending on the amp type and setup.

You can only wire your subs 1 or 4 ohms with dual 4ohm voice coils. If dual 2 ohm you can can .5, 2, or 8 ohm load. 1 ohm this amp will put out way over what you subs can handle. I have 2 12s on this amp wired at 2 ohm load and slams hard. My subs are 2,200 peak and im pushin 1,500 r.m.s. to each sub in ported box tuned to 38 hz. For your subs id either find a smaller amp thats around 1,000-1,200 rms at 1ohm or get different subs. This amp is no joke and is a beast

Gaius... this amp is killer at 2 ohm. My birth sheet said a little over 2700 rms at 2 ohm and it moved my dual 4 solo x 18 really well

Anything can be blown, judging on te name brand I your amp you should have enough for a couple of these, for best sound run them separate on the amplifier at 4 ohms

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms.

I had this set up for a while. Wire the subs to 2ohms. Better to over power a sub than under power

IMO if you putting these on a aftermarket amp get some 4 ohm speakers to be more amp friendly. These are 2 ohm and probably best for factory replacements. As far as what amp to get i am guessing you are going low budget. MBQuart and hifonics make cheap good 4ch amps. Stay away from the wally world stuff and don't forget high level inputs or a line out converter. PAC SNI-35 great budget LOC

I would go with a small 200watt 4 channel this amp is more for smaller mobile applications you can get a 4 ch ssl for around 40 dollars on Amazon .

If your subs are 4 ohm, then yes you can wire them in parallel to make a 2 ohm load. You should get roughly 450 to 500 watts per sub. Keep the bass boost off and the gains turned down and your good to go.

This unit is built for output impedance 4-8 Ohm. By using 2 Ohm speakers you are risking to burn unit amplifier; this is not really high end equipment. This unit has RCA output and option to attach an amplifier; that would be better way to go.

Depends on ohms. The manual says 2x 2ohms 420 per channel. But usually budget amps overrate thier wattage. I got the 1000 watt works great.
