Just run at 1 ohm and turn the gain down if you get too much voltage drop until you upgrade your electrical IF needed. No reason to wire higher.

Just remember to get dual 4 ohms on the American Bass as you have pictured a pair of dual 2 ohms right now. Because if you do that package you can only run a dual set at 0.5 ohms, 2 ohms or 8 ohms.

No AudioPoop.
No Skarbage.

You should be looking at lower RMS subwoofers. I personally would be looking into 600-750rms subwoofers like the FU Audio 750, Sundown SA. ETC.

For a CAB 22?

Cab-22 is only 2,200 rms I have one. I am going to be running Fi SSD4s which are 1,000 RMS and it is going to be very close. Most likely I am going to be upgrading to a full 3K or 3.5K Amplifier so I have the headroom I need. My Cab-22 was number 90 off their first shipment. While it is a damn good amplifier certified they see around 2,300 to 2,450. But I would still go by the 2,200 RMS number that is what matters.

Yes. Just because the amp can do 2k watts on a dyno does not mean you will be seeing 2k watts on music. Actual clamped output is quite a bit lower.

Yep agreed 100%. When I ordered my subwoofers I figured on going up to a 3K later on this year to have the headroom those subwoofers need.
