Can I run my subs off of different amps?

[09VIC]

I currently have an ssl 5000d hooked up to two dvc4 alpine type R's at 1 ohm. I have been made aware that amp can't cleanly supply my subs with enough power so I plan to either purchase a cab 1600 or an audiopipe 1800 to replace it. In the meantime until I get the money I have a belva bb2000 amp hooked up but not powering anything so I was wondering if I could run my subs off of the two different amps wired to 2 ohms. My subs share a box with their own chambers but a common port. My ssl will make 800 at 2 ohm and I haven't seen a Dyno for the bb2000 but the bb3000 did 900 at 2 ohms so the bb2000 should be good for 600 rms (my goal for each).

Sure you can. Is it's ideal? Not at all.

I want them to get cleaner power which I assume they would at 2 ohms. If they are slightly out of phase with each other can it damage my subs?

not worth it brother.

No it won't damage anything. The power will be as clean as you set it. You control that with the volume and gain knob.

it'll be fine just adjust 1 amp at a time until each sub sounds about the same.. ppi p1k does 1162 @1ohm $153 amazon just saying..

Your much better off running that CAB amp, if you get one, compared to others. If you got the big 3 done and/or aftermarket HO alt, you should hear a dramatic increase over those mentioned amps as far as output, once gain is properly set.

how do they have their own chambers and a common port unless its a bandpass?

or are you talking about this design

Holes on each side with port down the center.
