[QUOTE="Kam311, post: 8593887, member: 673335"] No... Just no! The amp ran cooler with one sub because now you are at a higher impedance lol. You go from 1 ohm to 2 ohm and of course the amp will run cooler, it will also be putting out about half the power. It's running cooler because there isn't as much energy running through the components. But if you are wired at a certain impedance it literally does not matter what sub are there, the amp will produce the power at that impedance. The subs do not ask for any power, they are a part of the circuit and they allow power. If you have subs wired at 1ohm, it doesn't matter what subs they are, they amp will produce the power it is supposed to at 1ohm. [/QUOTE]
