[QUOTE="_Newk_, post: 8443136, member: 623028"] I have an MB Quart Onyx OA500.1 mono amp right now that is currently running an 12" L5. Since the sub is on the way out, I am looking to possibly to get something different. Being that the market is limited on Square subs, I am probably gonna have to ditch my prefab Kicker enclosure in lieu of one for a round sub(s). My questions are as follows: 1) Since my amp is rated at 500 watts @ 2ohms, should I be looking for a sub that's DVC 4ohm or SVC 2ohm to get the most out of the amp? 2) Buying a DVC 2ohm sub will actually put the sub at 4ohms thus only drawing half the power from the amp correct? 3) Because the amp is rated at 500W, the sub should handle a minimum of 500rms? 4) Can I run 2 subs off a monoblock amp? If so, how do I wire it? (Both subs DVC or SVC, 2ohms or 4ohm?) 5) If I can run 2 subs off a mono amp, would my 500W amp be sufficient to do so? I know most guys here say mainstream stuff is usually garbage, but I don't really have a lot of money at the moment so I would really like to try and keep my Amp because it's still relatively new (less than a year) and runs like a champ.
