What is the best way to wire these to a mono amp with 400 watt rms ?

It depends on what you are looking for. If you prefer rap/hip-hop, or r&b.... then a mono amp is for you. If you are looking for more than just bass, a stereo amp is better. However, uit should be no more than 300 RMS/600 Peak.

I have them hooked up to 2 1200 watt speakers. The amp only can be hooked up via speaker wire tho

at first i only had them hooked up to a 200 watt amp and they didn't sound that loud.so i bought a 2000 watt amp and they sound amazing.the best way to get the best sound is to hook a 2000 watt amp up to them.

4 Ohms. So, you can either run them at 8 Ohms mono (wired in series), or 2 Ohms Mono (in parallel). Up to 250 Watts RMS. @4 Ohms, I have been able to pretty much bottom out mine with an amp that does around 150-180 watts. In the documentation JL provides, I believe they placed 200 watts as "the sweet spot". For best results, I'd probably get a 300-500 watt Mono subwoofer amp to run 2 as most can handle very low impedance loads. Also the CP208 is a long microbox with 2 of these 8 inch drivers built in. You might go for that instead and save a few bucks. The box is rated 2 Ohms.

I have it hooked up to a 1000 watt kicker mono amp. I've been told you really only need about 400 watts though. It works great I love it.

doubtful that you'll need an amp unless your receiver is literally a POS. I would suggest you buy a higher grade speaker wire (I have 16 gauge on mine) and that you bi-wire them as well.

You will need two Amps then. 1 won't be hitting them that hard. 4 to 1 amp for a 1200 watt amp. If you get a bigger amp you will need to buy a compositor and much more and bigger wire.

Running 2 subs on individual amps in my setup - 2500 watt peak mono class D - 2 ohm stable @ 2500 peak, 130+ db at headrest, no issues.

They're 8 ohm impedance speakers. Will work with any receiver or amplifier expecting to see an 8 ohm load.Many 12v amps are looking for a 4 ohm load, which I think is what you're referring to. Some are switchable. You can wire these in parallel to get 4 ohms, but I doubt that would be practical for you, since you'd need to install two pair in order to do it properly. If your amp/receiver is expecting a 4 ohm load don't get these.

This is a 4 ohm and 8 ohm load amp. Run in mono you should be able to link from input b into input a on the next amp I believe.

well if your looking to go to the peak power 1600 true watts i have 2 on a 1200 watt amp and they sound good id probably get a 1500 watt mono block hifonics amp the one thats one ohm stable and wire the subs to one ohm and they will sound great

Yea it wilk work id recommend getting a bigger amp tho. I got two of these wired down to 1ohm with a planet audio ac5000.1d so they are gettin around 1500rms each at 1ohm and man do they pound

I run 2- 1/4trs to xlr cables from the main out to the inputs on my amp (any wattage amp that powers your speakers). Depending on your amp input any quality instrument cable should work.

You will want to use a amplifier that has at least 250watts per channel at 4 ohms or 500watts bridged at 8 ohms. The sealed boxes will work as long as they are close to 3.3 Ft3.

If your subs are 4 ohm, then yes you can wire them in parallel to make a 2 ohm load. You should get roughly 450 to 500 watts per sub. Keep the bass boost off and the gains turned down and your good to go.

You will have to run them in series and wire them for 2 ohm because it wont push enuff watts for both subs at 4 ohms

You can't bridge the outputs but I suppose you could just pick an unused output and use that. But be aware that the amp only put out 50 watts @4 ohms and may not supply enough power for a sub
