Assuming you have a pair of these......

With 4 x 4ohm voice coils, you have 2 realistic wiring options: 1ohm or 4ohm.

For shoping purposes:
....look for either a big-*** bridgeable 2 channel and run 4ohm mono ...OR... a 1ohm stable monoblock, to of course run, 1ohm load on. That's it in a nutshell.

1ohm = all (4) 4ohm VC's in parallel.
4ohm = 2 pairs of series wired VC's (=8ohms each driver), then wired in parallel (8ohm + 8ohm = 4ohms final).

Alright, so I now got everything i need, im building my box today and hopefully putting it all in.

I got 1 3000x1 planet audio monoblock amp rms 2400 max 3000
also, 2 DVC planet audio 4ohms subs 2400 max 1200 rms, Now all I really need to know is how to wire these subs to get the most out of my amp.

Wire the coils on each driver in parallel, then parallel the drivers on the amp.

Also please forget the "max" ratings, they mean nothing....
