    well you could power them at 1ohm,but you dont have to.

    you can do 4ohms, 1 ohm,or 16ohms.

    but for maximum power 1ohm will do it.


    are you going for max power/bass?

    cause 275 per sub should do fine.

    well with that amp it can do 1600 rms so thats bout 800per sub which i thought was good..since rms on sub is 400-1600 max

    i dont know what 800 watts rms will do to a sub that is rated for 400 rms.

    even though it has a 1600 watt peak.thats most likely for very short periods.

    how about an 800 watt amp or 1000 watts?500 each souldnt kill them.as long as you dont go around with the bass all the way up ALL the time.

    also dont forget at 1 ohm an amp will get hot quicker than one playing at 4 ohms.or just buy some fans too.

    my sub is rated at 450 rms and i feed it 350 rms at moderate levels.way less at normal levels,and it slams


    BTW do you have a box planned out for these subs.because in the right box a sub will git on it with only a couple hundred watts.

    my one 10 in the right box beat out some kid with 2 12's.me=136.6db@350 watts kicker built box.kid=132.?db@ 600watts.prefab box.
