    how much power should i throw to this combination now that the box is almost built i have a 300 watt kicker amp but a friend of mine says ill be needing more like 900 wats for it

    one subwoofer is 150 rms and 300 max
    i was thinking 450-500 would be the match for it
    also the subwoofers are 4 ohm could i drop them down to 2 ohm or even 1 ohm would it be safe or recommended???
    the sub woofers are also single coil how should i wire the box up?

    i currently have a kicker 300.1 amp will this be enough?

    yes, your kicker 300.1 should be enough to push 2 of the subs you have, keep in mind, that amp is only 2 or 4ohm stable, do NOT wire speakers to 1ohm.... since you say your speakers are 4ohm single voice coil, here is how you wire them up 2_4ohm_svc_2ohm.gif

    in that case you'll surely need a 1ohm stable amp, shouldn't bee too hard to find... you need one that does 450 RMS at 1ohm.... heres a picture of the set up 3_4ohm_svc_134ohm (1).gif
