Why 4 or 3 ohm? Your amp is 1 ohm stable, so just wire all +'s together and all -'s together

yes but that would be too much power to just 2 of them wouldn't it?

if THAT... im pretty sure SPL and Power Acoustik Are the same? if it does put out 1k rms its not very clean power

well it takes 5 30 fuses to the amp and i have it running off its own battery

Yes that is it

It should give you about 1500-2000 or so I'm guessing. Should be plenty of powa to get those Audiobahns moving. I've got an older MB Quart PAB 1200.1 and it does 1200 @ 1 ohm. It's got 2 60 fuses. That should tell you a little something anyway... By the way if you wire the subs in parallel you'll end up with a 1.5 ohm load.

wire them parallel and you will be fine, if the amp does happen to make 1500 watts at 1.5, it won't matter. Just do the box to specs.
