[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8447258, member: 650438"] bigger amps that are sitting back and doing very little work is a lot better than a smaller amp straining at higher power. 1 ohm final impedance is what you want to aim for. Get a D2 so you can wire down to 1 ohm. Dual voice coils have different wiring from single voice coils. make sure you know what series wiring, series/parallel and parallel wiring is. You can put any amount of power on the sub and it'll still get decently loud as long as your box design is on point. Still go for the biggest amp you can comfortably get. You can easily CONTROL how much power/current your amp draws from your electrical system through monitoring VOLTAGE DROPS (as explained before) and gain settings. Dont sweat it too much, get it in first and you'll be able to measure how much of the amp you can utilize. You'll be future proof later on. As we all know, bass is worse than crack, once you get the bug. [/QUOTE]
