Ohm's my F*€%ING god

Ok so a subs power doesn't change no matter how its wired? So it will have 1400 watts rms if its wired to a 1 ohm load, 1400 watts at a 2 ohm load and 1400 @ 4 ohms?

What you just posted here does not apply to the subwoofer. It applies to the amplier. Each voice coil can handle 700 watts RMS, so 1400 watts between both coils.
If you wire it to 1ohm, you should get an amp that can play 1400 watts @1ohm. That same amp will put out around 350 watts if you wire that sub at 4ohms.

your sub is not 1.4k at 2ohm. your sub can handle 1.4k watts, and has two 2ohm voice coils which can be wired to 1ohm or 4 ohm. the sub will handle 1.4k on either ohm load, the question is which amplifier would you rather buy? a $300 amplifier that can output 1.5k @ 1ohm or a $800 amplifier that outputs 1.5k @ 4ohm.

Thank you lol! This is all I needed to know lol. I want to say 800$ buuuttt I dont have that much, well atleast for an amplifier.... plus if I did my wife would kill me lol. So 300$ amplifier it is. Is a 1500 watt enough or should I get a 1800 so the amp can work easier and stay cooler? Or is 1.5k plenty of power to run cool

depends on the amp, I recommended the sfb-1500 because I've only heard good things but if you can spend the money on a sfb-2000 I strongly recommend it to give your amplifier some "breathing room"

I'm running a zv6 on a sfb-5000. wired to 2ohm the sfb-5000 outputs 3000watts, but in reality I'll be using 2500watts.
