hey guys im thinkin of picking up 2 re10s and powerin it with 3/4 of the power of a profile ap1000. how should i wire it for the correct impediance and stuff. any help would be appreciated.

since there dual 4 ohm, wire them in parrele and then hook up to each sub. carefull @ full power though, thats close to the max

2 options
Series/Parallel Mono or Parallel in stereo...wattage will be the same either way however with series/parallel mono you dont have to worry about screwing up polarity and getting subs out of phase.

in mono would mean i would bridge the amp? what would u do?

if the amp is bridgeable the negative from one channel and the positive fomr another, read your manual
