[QUOTE="trumpet, post: 8063829, member: 628688"] Just watch the voltage. Amps don't like to be run with low voltage, and this is one way amps die. I'd probably not let it run below 11.5V, although your amp will probably keep playing, because it's hard on the batteries. I don't do boat systems at all though. It's fine to wire the subs in parallel at the amp and not have one set of wires coming out of the terminals. You want to wire the coils in series on each sub and parallel at the amp. Confirm 1.34 ohms with a multimeter with the system off.
