[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8925250, member: 689267"] Yes, but you don't really have a choice. Well, you do, but it would be a total waste of money. As noted previously, you can run all four at 2 or 0.5, so with four, you have to go with a 2-ohm wired load. If you split them into sets, then you have 2 options for each set of subs. 1-ohm sets or 4-ohm sets- that's it. Each set wired to 1 ohm, each set connected to a single Atom 12k, three times the thermal limit of 4000 per set, bye-bye woofers. At 4 ohms, each amp would put out 3870 watts to a set; that's fine, a little underpowered, but not by much. The difference in running all 4 to a single amp versus two sets of 2 subs on two amps is about 435 watts per set, 217.5 per sub, and this is an imperceptible volume difference at twice the cost. I know it sucks, but you're kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. [/QUOTE]
