How to wire sub to box?
Alright guys.. my friend is giving me a new Punch2 p2d212 sub. without the box.. So i'm going to be running out to future shop to grab a box.. Now i don't have any experience putting these together.. I know thats its a dual 2ohm sub.. does this need to be wire specifically? Its just gonna be a single 12" in my trunk..
Its gonna be powered by the fosgate p300-1.. So its definately gonna run at 250w at 2ohms..
Never put together a sub in the box.. so when i do wired it.. do i just attach the positive wire to the outlet leading outside and the negative to the negative outside?

you said it was dual 2 ohm sub, you cant wire it to 2 Ohms, like I said, either 1 or 4 ....
Not sure how better to explain this, but I'll try
the way a sub is wired presents a certain load to an amp.
in your case, your sub is a dual 2 Ohm voice coil, which has two wiring configurations possible. 1 Ohm and 4 Ohm, so, being that your amp probably wont safely take a 1 Ohm load you have to wire the subs in parallel to present the amp a 4 Ohm load
here's a picture.

the best you're going to get is 150 watts going safely to that sub.
...in short, no, they are not a good match.

sorry to highjack the tread but im just wondering if these would make a good pair
1. Alpine Type R Dual Voice Coil 2x4ohm sub
2. Alpine MRP-M850

thanks... sorry for the highjack
