Wiring Issue
I'm Hoping someone will be able to help me with this issue. I bought 2 Subs and an amp. See below.
2 Rockford Fosgate P3D4-12 Punch P3 DVC 4-Ohm 12-Inch 600-Watt RMS 1200-Watt Peak
&
Pyle PLA2378 2-Channel 2,000-Watt Bridgeable Mosfet Amplifier. Maximum Power Output 2 x 1000W - 2 Ohm Stable. Bridgeable RMS Power @ 4 Ohms: 1x2000W - MOSFET Power Supply
I'm so confused as to how to wire these subs as to not blow them. If I wire the subs in parallel, will that drop the Ohms of the amp to 2 or does Bridging the amp and running the subs on their individual channel or in series?
I am looking to the optimal sub wiring resolution as well as amp wiring without the fear of pushing too much power and blowing the subs.

Well, the amp appears to make the same power whether 2ohm stereo or 4ohm mono so your choice is either:
1. Wire one woofer to each channel. For each woofer, connect the two + together and the two - together.
2) Wire the amplifier for mono operation. For each woofer, connect one + to the other - and then the left over + and - from each woofer goes to the amp.
Blowing the subs up depends on you. Don't turn the gains to max and if it sounds bad, turn it down.

From my understanding 2 DVC 4 ohm subs cant be operated at 2 ohm.( 1 DVC 4ohm can be but not 2 of them). Your choices are 1ohm or 4 ohm. So with your amp you will get the most power out of it by using the bridged 4 ohm method, because I do not believe that Pyle amp is 1 ohm stable.
Also Pyle is using max watts to rate they amps not rms I would be shocked if that amplifier is giving 1000 rms anyway you wire it. Likely your around 800, 400 per sub meaning your subs can handle more power.
