Hi, within the next couple of days I'll be ordering a couple of Kicker CompVR 03CVR124 12" subs. I'm just wondering how I should be wiring these subs with my Kenwood KAC-929 1000w amplifier? Here are specs for the amp and the subs:
and the Kicker CompVR's:Two-channel power amplifiers such as the 150 watt x 2 channel KAC-929 2-Channel Power Amplifier are hard to beat.The bridged rating of this amp is 460 watts and the maximum output rating is 1000 watts. Included Features are tri-mode operation, a variable low-pass crossover, selectable bass boost, a dynamic expander, and 2-ohm stability. Also included are speaker level inputs, speaker relay protection circuitry, and a Quiet Turn-On circuit.

If I understand this correctly, I should wire each sub to a seperate channel right? And this would cause a final load of 2 ohms resulting in 230 watts of power going into each sub? I've read on here about people being able to wire in parallel and end up with a 1 ohm load even though their amps arent listed as stable 1 ohm. Would that be possible with my amp? Any help is appreciated, thanks.Subwoofer Specifications
