install 2 amps or 1

[dchow 10+ year member]

right,

I was thinking about getting 2 "10 xxx but I dont know what impedence to get?

Right know I have an mtx 1501d in my car and was wondering if I get the xxx's in a 4ohm dvc setup and run my amp at 1ohm would that give them enough power? This is an unmodded amp, how much more would I get at 1ohm if I modd it?

Thanks

You can talk to Scottie J abotu how much extra wattage you should get when the amp is modded. Keep in mind, this decreases stability and dependability though.

Anyways, I believe the XXX's are rated at around 1,600wrms(15" is I believe) correct? From what I have read, they dont NEED all of that power to get going. Maybe you should look into a higher displacement single woofer like the 15" and get it in a dual 2 so that you can power it properly. But I would recommend putting this thread in the subwoofers section, they would be able to help more then here. Even though it's soe of the same people, there are more sub oriented people in there.

Sorry forgot that part,

like I said I have a mtx 1501d, would I get more power getting a second 1501d and run each sub off there own amp at 2ohms or should I just run the 1501d at 1ohm powering both subs?

Thanks

1 on each sub, but u would need to mkae some electrical upgrades. because thats quite bit or power. u need at least 1100 for XXX's to wake up
