[QUOTE="ramos, post: 1208, member: 540858"] That all depends on the amp and the subs. For instance my comp car for this year will contain 2DD9515's that are dual 2ohm coil. That means each sub has two voice coils, and each voice coil is rated at 2ohms. I will be powering these monsters [IMG]biggrin.gif[/IMG] with 4-RFBD1500.1. Two to each sub. One on each coil. The BD1500.1 is rated at 750w x1 at 4ohm 1500w x1 at 2ohm So that means in order to get the 1500w I will need to have a 2ohm load for the amplifier. My subs are dual 2ohm coils. So I am running 1 BD1500.1 per coil . So I will have roughly 6000w going to two subs(give or take a couple hundred watts [IMG]smile.gif[/IMG] ). Did this help any ? To sum it up look at the amp specs. To get max power out of the amp you need to have a sub or subs that will give the impedence the amp put's out max power. To use your example. 1200 watts x 2 @ 1 ohm stereo would be the max output. By the way this would be one big a$$ honker amp [IMG]biggrin.gif[/IMG] . You would need 2 1ohm loads. So you could have 2 2ohm subs wired parallel for each channel. Did that make it any clearer ? If not ask some more questions and I will try to explain [IMG]smile.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
