Orion HCCA-D2400 with 1 Rockford Fosgate Power T110 sub...
I'm no expert.. but the way I read this is if I wire the two voice coils in parallel, it gives a 1 Ohm impedance.. and this amp pushes out about 1200 watts @ 1 Ohm. That's the max handling for the sub, so I didn't know if it'd be better to go with the HCAA-D1200, which is 600w@1 Ohm. Either that or maybe look into an 800w rms@ 1 Ohm amp... any suggestions? Thanks! Here's some links...

RF T110
Seeing that Rockford only rates their sub to 600wrms, I would stick to the D1200 amp. Maybe the sub can handle 1200wrms (IDK - I don't play with RF anymore), but would play it safe in case it can't.
The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.
I'd say if it cant handle that much power, you need better subs. Maybe a T2 or T3 would pull it off?
If you're insistant on using that sub and amp combination, you have a couple options:
1: buy a different/second sub
2:Wire it differently
and probably a few others, like getting a weaker amp (who wants to do that, honestly??)
not gonna touch the first option, but for the second one, try this:
#1: 450w RMS, underpowering the sub by 150w RMS
It wont be as loud, but far less to no chance of blowing the sub up.
Series: Wire the positive of VC1 (voice coil one, they arent actually numbered so it doesnt matter) to the + of the amplifier. Wire the negative of VC1 to the positive of VC2 (voice coil 2). Wire the negative of VC2 to the negative of the amp. Totals out to be 4 ohms.
If you buy a second sub, you can wire them to 2 ohms, 8 ohms or 0.5 ohms. But then you have the 1200w RMS you want from the subs, but now you can't possibly wire them for 1200w RMS from the amp
I like the first option (buy a different/second sub) better, grab one thats rated at 1200w RMS and can be wired to 1 ohm. much louder (theoretically) and less of a chance to screw up XD
