[QUOTE="renurb, post: 6262711, member: 614011"] Well i am pretty new to the car audio scene, The set up i have in my car is a 320W TML AMP hooked up to 2 12" MTX that i believe are 4 ohm The first thing is that lately my amp has been cutting out, probably about once a day. Is this due to there being too much load on it, or what Second i bought a new sub and box i want to ADD to my system. This is a pioneer 10", it is a dual voice coil sub. n im not sure on the wattage. This is a sub that is offered in an audio system in my car. I bought it for the box that it comes in. I have been told that my amp will not run it, which i dont doubt cause it is having trouble running the 2 12's now, the local car audio store says that i would have to hook them up in parallel and the resistance would then be below one ohm which no amp will run. So i am looking for a new amp. What i am thinking is get a new one for my 2 12"s n use the old one for my 10", this will work right? as in the TML amp will run the dual voice coil sub. finallly what should i be looking for on the new amp, im looking on craigs list n have found a 1600 (max) watt amp for $90 Can i run an amp that has higher wattage than my subs(which i think is 300 a piece), should be as long as i dont turn it up all the way it wont be a problem right? Please help n sorry for all the questions that are probably dumb. [/QUOTE]
