what amp do you have

 

[TylerBD12 10+ year member]

is your amp 1 ohm stable?

Kicker ZX1000.1

your amp is 1000 watts @2ohm. it's not stable at 1 ohm according to the specs, so you could try it but your warranty would be void.

that amp should be fine to run at 1 ohm daily... yeah it would be a lil louder

I ran one of the subs at 1ohm and it was almost louder than both of the sub at 2 ohm

if you already have the two 10's there is no way they can be wired up to a 1 ohm and 2 ohms load....by using both subs with a mono amp...If they are dual 2's you can wire them 2ohm .5ohm 8ohm if they are dual 4's you can wire them 4ohm 1ohm or 16ohm ......as far as that Kicker amp I beleive it is only 2 ohm stable it may play at 1 ohm but whenever you run an amp lower than the company suggest you are taking a chance on problems.....

How would they know if I run at 1ohm

I have 2 dual voice coil 2ohm

 

[revots 10+ year member]

there is no way they can be wired up to a 1 ohm and 2 ohms load

that about sums it up

if your amp burns up or goes into protect and you send it in to be fixed. the're gonna open it up and see what caused the failure.

So what can I do to make my system louder.

 

[revots 10+ year member]

he had 1 of them wired at 1 ohm. when he switched to 2, he had them wired at 2 ohms. moving down to 2 ohms halfs the power. you may have problems with that amp at 1 ohm. may not. you can take the chance if you want. with 2 dual 2ohm subs you would be wiring at 2 ohm and 1000 watts on that amp anyway. plenty of power for those type r's.
