[QUOTE="skateboardkid, post: 4540624, member: 582399"] you have a single 3 ohm woofer what is your amp rated at 4 and 2 ohms? Ohms are resistance to electrical current, so 8 ohms is a lot of resistance, which is gonna minimize your amps out put, 4 ohms is standard resistance and what plenty of amps make good power into. at 2 ohms if your amp is capable you get twice as much power as at 4 ohms. and 1 ohm having the least resistance will get the most power out of your amp. so you have a 3 ohm subwoofer and an amp that makes the most power at 1 ohm, what that means is your sub is not gonna get the full power of your amp, this is why JL audio amplifiers have highly regulated power supplies that let their amps make same power from 1-4 ohms, which is a gimmic to get people to buy them when they have 3 ohms subs. you need an amp that makes 1K into 4 ohms, so probably a 2 channel bridged.
