Will these subs work for the amp at 2 ohms?

These subs
And this amp

How do I wire the two subs for 2 ohms? Parallel?
I can run the two subs at 1200w off the amp if I do that right?
How do you know if the subs can run off 2 ohms? Not the normal 4, 6, 8.

Thanks

You can't wire two of those subs for 2ohms. You need two subs with 4ohm VC's wired in parallel to get a 2ohm load.

Thanks, I did a search and it said that amp is 1 ohm stable....Is it? Because I looked at other specs on that sub and its 1 or 4 ohm operation.

So if thats the case, How can I hook up 2 of those subs to that amp for the most output?

IF the amp can do 1ohm then you need 2 of those subs in parallel.

The sound isn't going to be that great. That is way more power than you need for a 12 inch sub.

Ok, I understand wiring now thanks to JL audio and I think LS1 RULZ for showing us the wiring diagrams in another post.

My only question now is if that JBL BP1200.1 amp is one ohm stable? I did a search and some say 2 others 1.

Although I did change my mind about those subs because I am gunna buy these cuz I found these for a good price. All I need to do is wire them parallel for the 2 ohm load cuz thats what I think the amp is stable at.
