dual 4 ohm voicecoil question

[wyatt315 10+ year member]

i can either wire this at 1 ohm or 4 ohm. So if i get an amp that is 1000 wats at 2 ohm and 500 at 4ohm which would be better to wire it, 1ohm or 4ohm? btw the speakers are 350 rms 700 wats max.

If the amp is only 2-Ohm capable, running it at 1-Ohm would fry the amp. Wire it to 4-Ohms.

if its dual 4 ohm the sub can be wired to either 8 ohm or 2 ohm.you can run it to your amp at 2 ohm mono

yes but my question is if an amp is 1000 at 2ohm and 500 at 4 ohm which be better to run a 1 ohm channel or a 4ohm but 91chevy said it would fry my amp at 1ohm so im looking into the Crunch P1000.1 any body know if its actually 1000 at 1ohm or below its ratings

if u have a 2 channel amp u dont wana go down to 1 ohm, u will blow the amp fuses at first. crunch is ok i guess
