[QUOTE="Diplexers, post: 338958, member: 550866"] This is important. Are your speakers Dual 4 ohm coils or dual 2 ohm coils? If they are 4 ohm coils I would wire the subs in series parallel. That way you can get a 4 ohm bridged amp to run them. The reason I would go with a 4 ohm bridged amp is the distortion. Every time you cut the impedance, you raise the THD(total harmonic distortion). If you run the speaker in series parallel, it will give you a four ohm load( if they are 4 ohm coils. If they are 2 ohm coils I would also wire them in series parallel and get the Eclipse 32430 1100 watt dual mono amp. Its 550 watts x 2 with kick but signal to noise ratio good distortion level and great damping factor; I used to own one and it put out a ridiculous amount of power(more than rated) plenty of power for the audiobahns, plus you can get them on ebay for around 200.00-400.00 dollars, they retail at 1000.00 dollars. Thats what I would push them with. If you have questions, ask away. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rotflol.gif.b453361716769b8110ddefc85ff03cd2.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
