a guy from my shop gave me 2 12w3-d6 subs and a box, ive been out of audio stuff for a while and i never really knew all the technical stuff about audio work, just how to hook it up..i was wanting to know what kinda of amp i would want to get for this, 1 or 2 channel?, how many watts, and all that. he currently has them wired like this below, except each speaker goes to its own + terminal on the box and its own negative terminal, totaling in 4 box terminals

here is my current wiring

should i do that or rewire it this way and look for an amp with these wiring settings?

I would wire them at 1.5 ohm and use an amp like this one http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=4209

Hifonics arent going to win you an SQ competition, but they are reliable amps that put out pretty decent clean power. They are slightly over-rated though.
