[QUOTE="jamissr, post: 8249242, member: 643862"] couple of questions, thanks in advance for the opinions. I have 2 matrix audio elite 12s, 2ohm DVC in a ported box, running off a powerbass 1500. some of this stuff i have aquired through trades and unfortunately it doesnt all match up that well, since i cant run 2dvc 2ohms with a 1ohm load to the amp, so my choices are either run 1 to the amp at 1ohm and risk blowing it, or seriously underpower both subs as the powerbass does about 700@2ohms and the subs are 700w rms each. So, ive purchased another amp on the forums here (massive 2400), however ill still be in the same situation as i didnt research the wiring options before i bought it, so now ill be able to run both subs at 1ohm off each amp but that still gives me the opportunity to blow the speakers and ill be running 2 amps, wiring concerns, space concerns, etc... so here are my questions: should i buy another amp that will run about 1500w@2ohms and sell an amp that i have? or, should i buy 2 12"subs that are 4ohm dvc so that i can put a 1ohm load to the amp and get the necessary power to run the subs (thinking the SA 600w) and then sell the ME elites? are the SA 600w better than the ME elites? about the same? i would normally just buy the new subs, however, im not sure how good the powerbass amp is (seems pretty decent though), and im pretty sure the ME elites are pretty nice subs, so im kinda hesitating on purchasing new subs if a better amp would make more sense. so 2 choices on the setup depending on what route i go. One is to run the 4 Massive 6.5s off a massive 800.4, then the PG 9 titanium off the massive 2400@4ohm, and then run the ME elites of a new amp, and sell the powerbass amp. the other choice is to run the massive 6.5s off the 800.4, run the PG 9 off either the powerbass or the massive 2400, and then buy 2 new subs that are 4ohm and run them off either the powerbass or massive, and sell the ME elites. What make more sense in your opinion? [/QUOTE]
