what power and configuration for subs?

[letmemakeit]

I recently purchased two DX10 4-ohm subs. I am in the process of building a well braced sealed enclosure housing both 10's with a divider between the two from 3/4" mdf to go in the rear of my '96 Blazer. Should I buy an amp that pushes 600 watts rms at 2 ohms and wire the subs in parallel, or buy two 300 watts rms at 4 ohms amps to push each sub separately?Or are my power ratings even correct at all? I have read some places that in order to wire these in parallel, the amp must be stable to 1 ohm and other places that say it only needs to be stable down to 2 ohms. Please clarify these issues for me and any productive input would be greatly appreciated.

If your goal is a very well controlled bass response that has good pitch and detail, then use the amplifier that has a power rating of 300 x 2 and wire the subs in the stereo mode configuration.
If the goal is SPL, then go for the amplifier that has a power rating of 600 x1 into a 2 Ohm Mono load. We recommend setting the crossover to 80 Hertz and allow 40 hours of playing music at a reasonable level to let the woofer's suspension "break-in".
Make sure that the amplifier is 2 Ohm mono stable, not just 2 Ohm stereo stable. Most newer amplifier will drive 2 Ohm loads in the stereo mode, but they may not drive a 2 Ohm mono load. They will usually have this information in the owner's manual. If you still are not sure, then call the manufacture
and speak to their technical support department.
