Question regarding amps and ohms.

[Hydrastas 10+ year member]

I've got a pioneer GM-7200M amp, it's stats are 250wrms for 4 ohm and 360wrms for 2 ohm. I was just wondering if I were to use two 4 ohm subs and put them together for a 2 ohm load into the one channel would both of the subs get 360wrms, or would it split the 360wrms? Would it be better to just use one 4 ohm sub at 250wrms X 1 or both 4 ohm subs for the 360wrms X 1 ?

The power will be split

so if i wanted to get the most power to one of the subs just doing 250x1 would be best then?

You are probably going to need a biggger amp.

Get something about 800-1000watts @ 2ohms, that will go the job.

what would be the cheapest one for that?

If you are on a tight budget get a HiFonics amp, if you got money get an Orion 1200d.

HiFonics BX1500D, it will do 1000@2ohms, a little overrated but should do the job.
