I am not possitive but i believe it all depends on the sub and if it 2 ohm stable, and if the amp is 2 ohm stable also. is so i think around 900-1000 watts at 2 ohm

if you have one 4ohm dvc sub wired in paralell w/ an amp that puts out 500 watts at 2ohms then it will receive 500 watts...it depends on how much power the amp puts out at the particular ohm rating....hope i've helped

ive got 2 4ohm dvc subs wired in series then in parallel to a 4 ohm load, what does that mean in reference to how much wattage each sub is gettin

if the amp puts out 500 watts at 4ohms then each sub would receive half of the power...so each would get 250....
