[QUOTE="BassMechanix, post: 5774669, member: 608748"] You dont really need 2 AMPs if you have 2 subs, What you need is to have the power that the sub will take, that is if you want the sub to use all the power they can handle. ie 1 Mag v4 will handle 1000watts, u get 2 you should have a 2000 watt amp or get 2 1000watt amps. The ohms of the voice coils on the subs affect what kind of a load you can use on your amp. If you have 2 dual 2 ohm subs you can wire in a .5, 2, or 8 ohm load. If you wire 2 dual 4 ohms subs you can wire in a 1 or 4 ohm load. You can get many different wiring diagrams on the net that will help you out with what ohms you need to get for you sub and amp combo. For every half of an ohm load, you double or half the power. ex. 4ohms 100 watts, 2ohms 200 watts, 1ohm 400 watts. [/QUOTE]
