Different RMS rating on same Amp?

[mikeyboc 10+ year member]

I have two Alpine MRD-M605's going to 1 Alpine type r 12" each (2 total). The birthsheet on one says 623 RMS @ 2 ohm and the other says 684 RMS @ 2 ohm. Is that going to make a difference in the overall sound of the setup or how the subs function. Are there other wiring options to be taken into consideration to even out the difference if needed? BTW, both subs wired to 2 ohm each.

Thanks.

strap the amps together and wire the subs like this. each amps power will not make a difference. the wiring diagram is assuming that your type r's are dvc 4 ohms each. which i assume they are as each can be wired to 2 ohms.

No the difference of 61 watts will not be audible. At all...
