Re: What's the best way to hook up PA3000DB to a Kicker...
Honestly, if you have to ask, you should have a pro do it for you. The few bucks you spend on installation may save a lot of money in burned out woofers and amps and wires etc.etc.
You may have considered that "not helpful" but believe me, there's a lot of people out there that later said "Now I know what you meant, I should have listened to you"...trust me, I WAS trying to be helpful!You may have considered that "not helpful" but believe me, there's a lot of people out there that later said "Now I know what you meant, I should have listened to you"...trust me, I WAS trying to be helpful!

If they are single voice coil and are 4 ohm you can bridge your amp and run both speakers off of it so your amp sees a 2 ohm load....better bass that will hit harder....(series wiring) look it up on google....
If it has only one set of terminals on the sub just plug and play- if it has dual coils wire them in parallel(+ to+ and - to -) and wire them to the amp
CVR series do not have large power handling capabilities. Your subs will melt before the amplifier is used to its full potential. If the subs arent in a ported enclosure - do that. They both handle 500w rms - so the pr1000 is perfect. bass response is all in the enclosure!

Use the above site for several wiring schematics on dual voice coil speaker hookups. It will show how to wire for different impedance.
Also, I think the CVR 12's come in 2 ohm and 4 ohm impedance. See if you can check yours to determine which you have....
175W x 2 @ 2 ohms
350W x 1 @ 4 ohm
Your amplifier is not stable @ 2 ohm bridged. So you will have to wire them independantly on each channel.
+/- on sub to +/- on L channel
+/- on sub to +/- on R channel
Wiring the subwoofers in paallel will result in a 2 ohm load, which your amplifier is not rated to do. Doing so will cause heat buildup, and damage to the amplifier.
