[QUOTE="qwiktune, post: 7731062, member: 616417"] Can someone answer me this. For now until I can sell these Rockfords to get the money for the Daytons, i'm using my 2 old Xplodes 12s which are 350w RMS, in Parallel on my Alpine amp (@2 ohm) which that amp puts out 350w RMS at that load. Would it be better for me to replace that Alpine amp with the Kenwood amp I have that does 500w RMS @4 ohm (cause if I kept it running @2 ohm it would be 900w from the Kenwood amp which I assume is to much continuous power into those subs) so I'd take them out of parallel and run them at 4ohm with the Kenwood. Both amps are Mono.......... So to sum it up, would it be better to run my two 350w RMS subs @2 ohm getting 350w RMS with the Alpine, or run them @4 ohm for 500w RMS from the Kenwood....? Would I tell a noticeable difference? The way I see it running @4 ohm with the Kenwood would prob be easier on the amp since its a higher load and they'd be getting 150 more watts of RMS power....logical thought? [/QUOTE]
