What sub wattage should i get if I connect in parallel to get 2ohm??????

Quick question:


If I connect 2 4ohm sub in parallel to get the 2ohm setup to an MA Audio HC1002 bridged to 1 channel, what sub power (Watts) should i get???
The amp power rating
@ 4ohm bridge is 1x360W
@ 2ohm bridge is 1X600W


Is 2 12" 4ohm 700W a good match? MA Audio Sub any good?

This how i plan to connect

TECHNICALLY, it will double your power, although, in all reality, you might get 1/2 that.

if bridged, your amp will see 1 ohm.
4 ohm x 2 parallel = 2 ohms/2 bridge = 1 ohm

I hope for your sake that the amp is 1 ohm stable. In reality if you wanted to run a 2 ohm config, you should have purchased two 8 ohm subs.
