I really need some help here. I recently have purchased 2 MTX 12" subs and here is the features. I have 2 of them...


Impedance 2 Ohm
Sensitivity 86 dB
Driver Type Woofer
Minimum Frequency Response 24 Hz
Maximum Frequency Response 160 Hz
RMS Output Power 200 W
PMPO Output Power 400 W

and I bought a 1000 watt amplifier. here is its features-


Two Channel Bridgeable Amplification
Tri-way Configuration:1/2 Channels
2 X 500Watts Total Output @ 4 Ohms
1000 Watts Total System Output @ 4 Ohms
Variable Gain Control
MOSFET Pulse Width Modulated Power Supply
2 Ohm Stereo Stable
Built-In Variable Subwoofer Crossover
High Level Low Impedance MOLEX Input Connector
RCA Low Level Inputs
Speaker Output Terminal Strip

I was wondering if these would work together? PLEASE HELP ME!

With the Specs you have given, i'll assume that what you have is the MTX TN12-02 Subwoofer and a Pyle PLAM1000 Amplifier.

If that's true, If you were to wire the Subwoofers in Series, you would be able to use this Amplifier on these subwoofers to create a 4Ohm Load.

Arranging the wire in series would do the job in order for you to use the Subwoofer and Amplifier.

I was only worried about the capacity of the Subwoofer if it can still survive when you use the maximum of the Amplifier often and if other auto parts would be damaged when the subwoofer breaks.

The maximum? I'm sorry, but I highly doubt that amplifier will put out anything close to 500 watts rms, so I wouldn't be too concerned about anything being damaged.

Just make sure everything is wired correctly and secure, and you shouldn't have any problems.

Completely agree with Joe S
The two subs wired in series and hooked to the amplifier in mono-bridged mode. Use any multimeter to make sure that you have wired the circuit in series properly and that the impedance is 4 ohms.
