[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8652611, member: 650438"] horrible idea, that will turn it into a mono signal and it'll sound like an absolute mess. I'd get another pioneer gm 8604, bridge one to the midbass, have the other one run the tweeter and 6x9 if you want more power. The anarchy 7s will sound 1000x better with alot of power on it. Dont even pay attention to the RMS rating, those things can handle 350 watts + per speaker easy and sound a lot cleaner with more power. You'll want to do the big 3 upgrade and maybe an extra battery in the back or and upgraded under the hood battery. Definitely run 1 ohm because you are never getting the power you see at 1 ohm, you are actually in the 2-4 ohm ranges due to impedance rise aka how the sub acts in an enclosure. You'll at best see 2 ohm power its the same with every amp. This is why you have a lot of people running at half or even 0.33 ohms to get good power out of certain amps. Its just physics, I'd always have more power on tap then lower the gain, just because you have all that power doesnt mean you need it all. Doing so will keep the amp a lot cooler than an amp forced to go 120% all the times even at a higher ohm load to do the job its supposed to do. Overhead is needed to keep the sound clean, distortion free and keep the amps safe cool and reliable. [/QUOTE]
