Default need help quickly

Ok heres the deal I have two 12" DVC subs and a 4 channel amp. The subs are 200 watts rms and the amp is 50 watts x 4 or 120 x 2@4ohm. The question is about wiring the subs. Should I just hook one of each channel to one of each of the voice coils or should I wire the sub at an 8 ohm load and bridge the amp. What would give better sound quality and more power.

Well, for one, it depends on your amp. If it can handle the load, I'd drop it to 1ohm and run the subs parallel. They'll both hit harder because of the extra power they're gonna get. As for running 2ohm, do it if your amp can't run at 1ohm and run a wire to each sub. JMHO though. Good luck.
