[QUOTE="ENDER_XVICM, post: 4381896, member: 571849"] Yes, you can wire both the subs in a way to use only one amp. Each sub will still be 350 watts but your amp will need to push 700 watts RMS. When I looked up the subs you mentioned I found out they are single voice coil subs at 4 ohms. If you wire these subs in parallel you will get a final 2 ohm load. parallel would be like... You have a Class D mono amp. I will use the kicker ZX750.1 as an example. If you have this amp, you would take each sub and connect the wires to the terminals. Then take the Positive wire from each sub and put them both into the positive terminal on the amp. And then the negative wires both into the negative terminal. This site can show you with visually. [URL="http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=41"]http://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/woofer_configurations.asp?Q=2&I=41[/URL] So what you need is an Amp that can do around 700Watts RMS at 2 ohm. Kicker ZX 750.1 [URL="http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3788"]http://www.woofersetc.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=product.display&Product_ID=3788[/URL] That would be the amp i recommend to you. I've never had a problem with kickers amps. They are solid and generally underrated. Check around on ebay for it. prob get it for less. And if you have a local cash converters check them out too. I have gotten some good amps there for good prices. My friend got his 750.1 for $130. [/QUOTE]
