[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8850736, member: 689267"] I assume you purchased 2 of the dual 4 ohm subs and you are running the dual coils in parallel for a 2ohm load and then the subs in parallel again for the 1 ohm load. With that in mind, you could get the Taramps 8000.1, wire the two coils on each sub in series then the two woofers in parallel for a 4ohm load and you will be getting 4800 watts, all for around $450.00. Draw is relative to output so you would still be fine. The nice thing about doing this is you get boatloads of output (4800 watts) and the amplifier is more efficient, runs cooler and controls the woofer better as the damping factor is much higher at 4ohms than at 1, usually at least twice as high. An amp with a damping factor rated at ≥150 at 4ohm may be as low as ≥50 at 1ohm. Since the minimum number one looks for is ≥80, that is significant. Just food for thought, all in all, good amps either way you choose to go. [/QUOTE]
