[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7784318, member: 573547"] 1st, you have two 4ohm SVC subs, correct? A)The Brutus series is slightly overrated on the rms wattage...so let's say 800 watts @ 2ohms B)The amp will see a rise in ohms due to being loaded in an enclosure..say actual impedance can be expected to be closer to an actual 2.5 - 2.75 ohms, reducing the 800 watts to approximately 650 watts. C) The amp will not produce this 650 watts on a continuous basis on a amplified musical signal. Maybe on transient peaks would the actual output approach this wattage. D) It would be advised to set your gain with a Digital Multi Meter to a 31.6v output voltage, which at 2 ohms translates to a 500 watt total output to ensure you do not harm your subs. 2nd, the two speaker outputs on the Brutus are for ease of installation if two subs are used, or larger wires can be hooked up in their own connector, if it is a DVC sub...it is still a single channel monoblock amplifier.
