Hi everyone,
I want to know if I should use my Eclipse amp to run my whole stereo or should I use my Alpine amps. Also should I run my subs in series or in parallel for best base? What is the best way to wire the subs? If I use the Eclipse amp it only has one channel for a sub.

use the MRV-T707 to power the subs. Are they two dual voice coil subs @ 4 ohms per voice coil? If they are, wire each sub in parrallel for a two ohm load per sub, the connect the two subs in series to the amp for a 4 ohm total load

wire the subs to whatever load your amp will handle, there is no "best" way

the lower the ohms, the more watts it gives out
