[QUOTE="tinmanchris217, post: 6245693, member: 610505"] Misfit's got the truth... Wire them in parallel, for a 2 ohm load. I have 2 of those subs (older series, but nearly identical), and if you tune and power them properly, you won't be disappointed. Both amps are excellent choices, but the eD should do just fine for you. Be wary of their customer service, but since you are running it at 90%, I think it's an excellent choice. Just don't mount it to your box (vibration damage), or abuse it heavily, and you'll be very pleased. No electrical upgrades needed. If you plan on showing off, the Kicker will get respect from (almost) anyone, and is a great choice too. Good resale, efficient, and difficult to break. Use the gain setting tutorial on this site (and a multimeter), so that the AC voltage across the speaker terminals is ~[B]40 V AC[/B]. Remember 60 Hz, 3/4 headunit volume (or max listening volume), max bass knob, and keep an eye/ear for distortion and bottoming out. This should be plenty of boom for a modded Z-car... One of my best buds drives a Datsun 280z (gutted for racing). Beyond jealous of ya'll. Edit: the sub will do rated, and fusing, as long as it's above 80 amps (up to 150 for that wire), and 4 gauge, you're good. [/QUOTE]
