The best you can do is connect the dual 2 ohm voice coils of each respective sub in series (4 ohms total per sub) and then connect each sub to one channel of the amp. This will give each sub 1000W, which is the rated maximum from Kicker.

SOURCE: i have 2 kicker l7's 4ohm, how do i wire them down

If the subs are dual 2 ohm voice coils.....

1. For a each sub, connect one of the "+" terminals on the sub to one of the "-" terminals. This makes each sub 4 ohms.
   
2. Connect the unused "+" terminals of each sub together. Do the same with the unused "-" sub terminals. This makes the sub combination 2 ohms.
   
3. Then connect the "+" and "-" sub terminals from the above step to the amp.

Are your Speakers dual or single voice coil? The best way to find a wiring diagram is look at the rockford fosgate web site. I ll give you a tip to keep in mind. when wiring the ohms of a sub when you wire it in parallel positive to positive and negative to negative on one speaker you have left it in 2 or 4 ohm configuration depending on speakers. When in a series the ohm load will change by wiring positive and negative together will give you a lower ohm the more speakers you add to the amp. Fosgate will let you see how its done

SOURCE: best amp for Kicker Sub

Hello dalex7,

The Kicker 08ZX400.1 would be a great amp for your subwoofer. It will work into a 4ohm load with no problems.

But you can buy an amp with more power, looks better, has a smaller footprint, and cost less than the 400.1. I'd look at the Alpine MRP-M500. Take a look at it here at Crutchfield. The M500 is also easy to install, runs cool, and is very efficient.

Hope this helps.

Run the amp in stero Run the 2ohm to one chanel, Wire the dvc 4ohm to run 2ohm + to + - to - to the other chanel and you should be fine.
If you had a 1ohm stable amp you could run both speakers wired 2ohm to a mono amp and have a 1ohm set up and double the power!
