[QUOTE="slick327, post: 6227072, member: 609559"] Alright, I thinked i seriously ****ed up. I am almost positive I had a game plan when i bought everything but now I am doubting myself. Apparently I have forgotten everything I have read in the past 3 or 4 days. My original intent was to wire the two subs to 4 ohms so i purchased an amp that is supposed to be 1000 rms at 4 ohms. The subs are 900 rms each. However, i was planning on using each channel of the amp. Now I am remebering that a 4 ohm DVC sub can be wired at 2 or 8 but not 4. Two DVC subs can be wired to 4 ohms but have to be placed as a single connection to the amp. The problem i think is that if the amp is reading only 2 ohms then its rated for 1600 rms x2, which would be bad yeah? if the subs are only 900 rms? I dont know Soooo, I need somone to please give me a reality check and tell me wtf i'm thinking. I believe my problem is that I only kinda of know what i'm doing. Basically only enough to really mess with me. Thank you for any help. My amp and subs are posted in the first post. [/QUOTE]
