Default Can i make these subs and amp work together?

I have 2 10" kicker L7s. They are dual voice coils 2 ohm. The amp i'm using is the concept cc-2502
RMS Power 250W x 2 @ 4 Ohm

RMS Power 450W x 2 @ 2 Ohm

RMS Power 850W x 1 @ 4 Ohm MONO


How do i wire up the subs to get the most out my setup. Or is just a lost cause.

I need an answer ASAP, as i think I can still return the subs as i just got them yesterday.

Default you could make it work but you wont see max power

wire the coils in series and run the subs in stereo @ 4 ohms. each sub will see 250 watts.

as a rule of thumb i always choose the subs first and then get an amp to match. if you insist on keeping the kickers i would get a class D amp to power it. they're much more efficient and will probably cost less.

Default Wire each sub in series and then parrallel. Amp may be a little small. BTW L7's take some time

to break in. They will sound better with time.

Default thanks for the advice but i just traded in the 2 2 ohm L7's for one 4ohm L7

It hits way harder than i ever wanted, and i saved money this way.
