[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 8632183, member: 540940"] So I guess giving up all your cargo space for a load of mediocre budget subs and spending hours/hundreds on enclosure design/construction when you could achieve similar sound with a good pair of 12's is the "retro-ish" aspect of the set up you're going for? They're svc 4's, right? Each set of 4 can run at 1 or 4 ohms. The 1200 needs 2 ohms for optimal power. You're either stuck at 150w per sub running at 4 ohms (but if you're going to do that you could just run all 8 with one amp at 150), or pushing the limits of the amp trying to run at 1, hoping impedance rise keeps it safe. Looks like DCR occurs at ~100hz -- if you low pass at ~80hz or less it might work. Two mrv-m500's on the other 4 would be fine since you'd run a 500 per pair of subs getting you 250w per sub.
