How about you tell us whether they are Dual 2 ohm subwoofers or Dual 4 ohm subwoofers, you can also go to this site and play with wiring options:

Subwoofer Wiring Diagrams

Well we were trying to figure out if you had the Dual 2 or Dual 4 ohm version in your other thread. I believe we found out you have the Dual 2 ohm version and with that being the case we were telling you that you either had to:

1. Buy two smaller amps that are 1 ohm stable and power your subs that way

2. Buy a 2 ohm stable amp such as a kicker amp

3. Buy a 1 ohm stable amp that has the power at 2 ohm that you want it to put out

The reason it is like this is because with 2 Dual 2 ohm subs you are not able to wire it down to 1 ohm. You can do .5 ohm ( highly unsuggested ) or 2 ohm ( this gives you the three options above). If you have 2 Dual 4 ohm subs then you could wire them down to 1 ohm like you are wanting to do.

Have you bought the amp yet? I believe someone recommended the alpine m2000 in your last thread. 2k rms @ 2 ohms. 1.5k rms @ 4ohms. I would look into that amp.

Dual or single voice coil?

why don't he get the model number and call kicker ... then we don't have to guess ...

Yea the alpine mrp2000 is looking like a win with those d2s

If you have Dual 2 ohm subs and already bought the Audioque 2200, you bought the wrong amplifier. You got bad advice in your other thread. You could keep it, though, and wire it to a 2 ohm net load and get 1300 watts, aka 650 per sub.

You need either a 2000 @ 2 ohm amplifier or two 1000 @ 1 ohm amps.

To wire the subs for a final 2 ohm load, either wire each sub's voice coils in parallel then the two subs in series, or each sub's coils in series then the two subs in parallel. Diagram here: JL Audio - Car Audio Systems

damnt, it appears i made a mistake in buying the dual 2 ohm l7. what now?

Dude, did you read one of the replies in this thread?

People already answered what now.

just get you a cheap amp that is .5 ohm stable

just get you a cheap amp that is .5 ohm stable

You definitely dont want to do that, especially if you dont have a good electrical.

Try to trade for some D4 L7s? Otherwise send the amp back if you can get a refund and buy a 2 ohm amplifier.
