confused on ohms

[BigAl 10+ year member]

Im a little confused. i have 3 dual 4 ohm subs @ 600rms a piece and i will have to wire at 2.67 ohms. My question is that do i need to find a amp that does 1800rms at 1 ohm or 2 ohm. Or will I have to find a 2000 rms amp since they will be wired at 2.67 and if so at what ohm. Thanks in advance

if you can find a amp that does 1800 or more at 2 ohm that would be your best bet because you wont get much out of a amp that does 1800 at 1 ohm

so a 2ohm amp

I'd recommend a MMATS 1/2 ohm stable amplifier and wiring everything in parallel so you can achieve the "number of the beast" nominal impedance of .666! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

x2 wire them in parallel if you can

that or you might be fine with a good 1ohm amp because after box rise you will be about 1ohm

And don't think that you have to exactly match the power handling of the subs. Its a limit not a goal.
