[QUOTE="imral3, post: 22500, member: 541256"] now that i know what amp and subs you have... here is the deal. you are reading too much into the 1000w badge on the front of the amp (that is not going to happen). the amp is rated as follows: (460x1@4ohm) or (230x2@2ohm) or (150x2@4ohm). since you have two 4ohm single VC subs rated at 120w RMS you should wire your subs in stereo which would give them 150w RMS each and give your amp a 4ohm load per channel. with this wiring scheme all should be well, good sound and a cooler amplifier temp which will prolong its playing time as well as its life expectancy.
