[QUOTE="HemiRT, post: 6652603, member: 618995"] ok so i should probably already know this since ive had several audio systems but here it goes. ok so considering a new amp setup (i have an alpine m-1000 amp currently) i was thinking if there was another way to wire my subs to lower the ohm rating would i be able to get more power. right now i dont remember if i wired my subs, which are 2 type-r (2 ohm), in a parallel or series wiring. doing the math if it were in a parallel series id be at 1 ohm total. if it were in a series it would be 4 ohms total if i did that correct. so that means the wiring would make a world of difference in how much power i am supplying my subs. anyways so, if they were wired in a series and not parallel would my amp be able to handle that increase from say powering only 500 watts total to over 1000. i looked at m1000 ratings on the internet and it said "RMS Power Rating: 4 ohms: 600 watts x 1 chan. 2 ohms: 1000 watts x 1 chan." this would mean that it actually puts out an overall rating of 2000 watts if wired in a certain way right (parallel w/ (2) 2 ohm subs)? could it handle that? thanks [/QUOTE]
