[QUOTE="gumby688, post: 7852838, member: 642867"] I am currently running 3 RF hx2 12 in subs(2 dual 4 1 is dual 2ohm) on a powerbd 500.1 birthsheet states 727 @2 ohm and I am running at .8ohm gain set at 70% not sure how much power subs are seeing. 0g for power and ground stock alt and optima yellow top, but anyways for my question I am wondering how much power I can actually run to the subs I have another powerbd 500.1 amp and a powerbd 1000.1 amp (1235 on it's birth sheet) I was thinking about strapping the 2 500 and running the 2 dual 4 ohm subs on them at 1ohm and running the 1000 on the dual 2 ohm @ 1ohm. I know the subs are supposed to be 500rms/1000 max but I have seen them take alot more. Running the subs in a 6.8cuft ported box tuned at 36hz. My brother in law has a powerbd 1500.1 he would trade me for the 2 power bd 500.1's. So I could just use it on all 3. So what do you guys think just how much clean power can I feed the subs? I do use a scope and a multi-meter to set my gains. [/QUOTE]
