working on a system for my 97 chevy extended cab.

subs are kicker 12 inch solorbarics. there the L7 which are 750 rms.

my amp is a AUDIOBAHN 2ch A2300HCT model number.

specs are:
2 x 300W @ 4 ohms
2 x 600W @ 2 ohms
2 x 1200W @ 1 ohm

i wanna wire the subs and amp for 2 ohms. how do i do that?

I need to know the impedance (ohms) of the speakers, and if they are SVC or DVC.

coils

there dual voice coil... cant rememberif there 2 or 4 ohm subs

I need to know which before I can give advice which way to wire them. A quick check on one of the coils with a DMM should tell you (3.5-5ohms = 4ohm nominal).

dual voice coil. 4 ohm subs. thanks.

This shows two DVC subs, each coil being 4ohms. The diagram shows wiring the two coils of each sub together in parallel, to reach a 2ohm load. Then you would wire each speaker to a channel of your amp, showing it 2ohms X2. So your amp's output would be 600 watts X2.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions.
