Trying to hook the amp to 2 jl 10W0v3 4ohm subs but know how to wire amp at 2ohm or 4ohm. Also would it be better to run the subs and amp 4ohm with the speakers halfway in their safe rms with the amp pushing its 150w on each channel to each sub separately at 4ohms. Or should I wire them parallel at 2ohms and give them their borderline rms of 300w of each channel of amp at 2 ohms? So which would be the best and how do I wife it to the amp for the 2ohm or 4 ohm set-up?
The lower the load that you play on this amplifier the risk the higher the risk you take of heating up this AM. Heat and electronics do not mix. You need to try to run this amplifier as efficient as possible.
I would be more worried about the amp than the speakers, those subs should handle the watts with no problem. The problem will be in the amps ability to remain working with a bridged 2 ohm load. It may not even stay on without going into protect mode with a 2 ohm load. If it does stay on then it may get really hot and shut off from the heat off of the Mosfett Transistors, or it could burn the Mosfetts from driving them too hard. Basically it's your choice, run your amp hard and gain more volume or run it with slightly less sound and have a cleaner sounding more stable amp that will stay on and have less chance of being damaged. If it's not loud enough the best thing to do is buy a different amp that better suits your needs and fits the application. In your case a 2 ohm stable Mono amp is going to be your best bet or a 4 channel amp bridged into 2 channels and run with 4 ohms on each channel. Or another exact matching amp like your 2 channel amp bridge them both and have each powering 1 of your 4 ohm subs. I used two VR mono amps to power my two 12" 4 ohm subs for a few years
