Confused on how to get the most out of my subs and my amp...

[HardcoreBob]

I'm doing my best to understand how ohms and my subs and amp work together...

I have two, 10" DVC 4ohm subs 500 watts rms each...

I understand I can either wire them to present a 4 ohm or 1 ohm load to my amp...

I thought my amp was 1ohm stable, but reading these stats, I guess that's not the case...

Is this 1500 watt amp enough to push two subs well since I can only wire up to or in the 4ohm configuration?

It is my understanding that I take the rams of my speakers "combined" which is 1000... is 750 going to push them well?

4 ohms would be about 375 watts per sub....under powering them. Barely tickle them.

Here's an easily to understand wiring diagram....and with it tells ya wiring sub(s) options.

yeah more power be better but what subs? whats the db and mms specs? maybe they aren't that "heavy"..

If its possible best bet is getting a 1ohm capable amp between 1-1.5k watts rms

So I’m better off using this, my other amp? It is capable of 500 at 4 ohm, is that going to give me some reasonable power?

what subs do you have?

what amps do you have?

That PPI is a 4 ch amp. Better off getting an amp 1 ohm stable to power your subs. Doesn't have to be an expensive one either.
