Idiotic newb question please don't laugh

So I have a brutus 1700.1 right now I have a dvc 2ohm sub. Wired at 4ohm it gets roughly 600w amp fully cranked. If I wire this at 1 ohm it should see 1700w. The sub is a mtx t812-22 it's suppose to handle 500-1500. I could still go 1 ohm and turn it down alittle......maybe?

And if I buy a second I could go with 2ohm at 1200...... My stupid question is if I wire them series/ parallel are they both getting 1200 or is it split to 600 a piece

If the amp puts out 1200 @2ohms and you have 2 subs wired they will see 600 a piece

i understand lol. Where in texas are you im near austin.

Also i wouldnt reccomend putting 1700w to your sub. Your gains probably are not set with a DD1 so it would take only a bit of clipping to cook your coil and burn your sub up.

Fort Worth.....I really want more bass, I guess I'll settle on another mtx until I can get my dc lvl xl's
