[QUOTE="Stel, post: 3060438, member: 574698"] The 800 watt number for the Boss amp is peak. It's 125rms x 2 for 4ohm load, they don't state what rms it can do at 2 ohms but it won't be enough for the subs which are rated 400rms each. Boss amps are not reliable and they overstate their output. I would definitely consider another amp. The subs are a dual 2 ohm model. That means each sub can either be either wired for 1 ohm (in parallel) or 4 ohm (in series). So find an amp that will drive the subs at those loads. A mono amp that can do around 800 rms at 2ohms would work well. You could wire each sub for 1 ohm, then connect the two subs in series creating a 2 ohm load. [/QUOTE]
