Ok, I am ready to shoot myself. I am having an information overload. It's like trying to cram for a semester final. I have learned from everyone here that a basic way to match up subs and amps is to look at the RMS. So I set out to do just that. However, something has been lost in translation. I have two of these http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=15441 in a ported box, not sure of the dimensions of the port, the box is not quite 3' wide, a foot tall, and a little better than a foot deep, and it holds both the subs. Now, I know I ****ed up when getting this amp http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_10232_Lanzar+MXA282.html
To save some loading time, each sub is 900 rms and 1800 max and the amp is "4000" watts, 1000 rms each channel at 4 ohms and 1650 rms at 2 ohms per channel.
Again, I ****ed up when choosing the amp because I was, at the time, under the impression that I could wire the 4 ohm subs to 4 ohms. I now know better but the damage has already been spent //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Soooo, my question is, will it be safe to wire each sub to 2 ohms and put one sub on each channel even though the said amp is supposidly 1650 rms at 2 ohms. I ask because the sub is rated at a possible 1800 max watts.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
