How would I wire this to be at 250 watts @ 2 ohms? Or would bridged 500 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms be better? I know how to bridge it, but would like to go 2 ohm if it is better. Any suggestions would be helpful. BTW I did buy this amp and I do have these speakers, so this is not theoretical.
Thanks for your answers!!

it doesnt matter what you do. 2 ohm and 4 ohm doesnt matter. it only matter in what your amp can handle. for wiring help use this website, it will tell u exactly:
www.the12volt.com and then go to woofer wiring |

Speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono
My amp isn't mono so how would I wire it? Bridge it and wire it like this?

no, your amp is stable at 4ohms bridged, you can not run it bridged with 2 single 4ohm subs... |

Those 8 ohm speakers are hard to find for a good price. I haven't checked on DVC though. Thanks! |

Yes I know that now...lol I am buying a new amp. It is the T5002. I thought they said P5002 over the phone, very easy to be confused. The T5002 should work fine from the 4 ohm svc subs I have. I sure hope so.....lol Thank you all for the posts and the help. You are a great group of pple and Im glad I found you guys. BTW, I'm selling my P5002 for 190$ shipped. It is also listed on eBay.
