Can I run my subs off of different amps?

I still would not recommend using different amps.

You could set the gains with a tone at X input voltage, so you get Y voltage. Music being dynamic and each song is different, who's to say both amps will have the same amplification curve (don't know what to call it).

Say you set them for 500 watts with a 4v signal. Turned down daily around a 2v range, one amp could be putting out 200 and the other would be making 250 watts. Also, less significant, but the damping factors wouldn't be the same.

What if crossover slopes weren't the same? Say one amp has a 12db rolloff and the other has a 24db rolloff.

Say one amp clips way sooner than the other.

Plus, it's ghetto. It's like running two different subs on a mono amp, which we never recommend.

Diff amps being utilized...try and keep up.

There will be no difference. The ducking amp does the same power at 1ohm as the 2 amps will at two ohm. Not to mention I doubt he can properly set it up
