Also would you mind linking these 120 dollar 1000 watt rms amps. I'll buy 2 tomorrow.....no joke.

i know, im just saying thats what theyre rated at...

audiopipe apsm1300, its an awesome amp...

mine is currently running 1ohm
even cheaper than i posted, it never gets hot, it sounds real clean, i love it.

Thanks Brett09, I'll probably wire the subs that way for now (they are 4ohm per speaker). Just out of curiosity, will these subs still "hit" decently on 50rms (The amp produces 300W peak power)? Like I said before I ain't lookin for the loudest truck on the block, just somethin with some decent bass.

As long as everything the manufacturers spec on both the subs and amp are correct and the subs are in a proper sized box then they should sound fine.

The way I understand amplifiers is this. Your amp will be 2 ohm stable in stereo, but not bridged. If you bridge it, it is technically running in 2 ohms, and that's how the power output is increased. So, running it bridged, with the speakers wired in series, is still 4 ohms. Pretty much the same as running it in stereo. Only difference is, with it bridged, you will get all the signal to both speakers, and not partial stereo separation.

Thats how I understand things, and I've been wrong before. So I would run it bridged in series. You'll get a little better output bass wise as they will be running the same thing at the same time. This will increase db's also, though not much.
