I have 2 kickers that say 12vr dual two ohm voice coils with a 2 channel sony 1200w amp. have no idea to wire. can use some HELP or i have a sony 4/3 channel 600w amp. Is this one better so i can use 4 channels or the 1200w bridged to 1 channel

Well depending on the ohm's of the sub and the amp you want to make sure you wire them so that each sub is wired at the same ohm's your amp can handle... For example if you am can only hand 2ohms then wire your subs at 2ohms.

thanks the kicker says 2ohms on it so is mine d vc 2ohm x 4load or dvc 2ohm x 1load

wire the voice coils in series and then the remaining leads of each speaker in parrallel. and you'll get 2 ohms...if your amp can handle that

ok wire the voice coils in series and then the remaining leads of each speaker in parrallel.what one is that, it has 2 wire hook-ups on 1 wire hook-up it has a white dot on the + and a white dot on the -. the other one just has red and black man iam so lost.

Your options for wiring the subs

So....

considering that your amp can probably only run at a 4 ohm mono (2 ohm stereo) load...you're going to run into issues running both subs at an optimal power level.

Rather than just try and make what you have work, get something that works with what you have.

Can you provide the exact model number of your amp so I can double check the ratings?

You can not run a 2ch amp at 2ohm, because it will run each channel at 1ohm, and your amp is not able to run that load. You will need a mono amp to put them at 2ohm

The only way to run a pair of those subs is to do all connections in series at 8ohm. This will most likely not give you the sound you want.

^^ huh? it will run each channel at 2ohms lol. Oh and he doesn't necessarily need to run the subs at 8ohms because the amp is capable of a 2ohm load last i checked.

Take the + from one coil and attach to the - of the next coil. Then take the remaining + and - and wire directly to Ch. 1 of the amp. Then do the same to the opposing sub. Your amp won't like that very much. The subs themselves i'm assuming you have the CVR 12s? They require 400w RMS @ 4ohms per sub. That sony amp is putting at MOST 300w RMS x 2 @ 2ohms. And that amp will most likely heatup... My recommendation, buy a mono block. Capable of a 2ohm load w/ roughly 800w RMS.

KKR 06ZX10001
Or if you prefer sony
SON XM9001GTR i think is the model number....
