i have a Zapco 750.2 amp bridged for the subs, and 2 alpine type r 12". they run 500 watts RMS and 1500 peak. should i try to have the amp run both of these subs or just one of them with it? TIA

depends how much damage you want to do lol. In my opinion for normal use you'd still be kicking pretty hard with the one amp driving both type r's.

i dont want to absolutly kill one of them , but i dont want to underpower them either, i talked to the guys a zapco and they thought it would drive both of them fine. so ill probably give ti a go with both but i wanted others opinons too.

wire it correctly, and give it a try...you'll never know until you try

yeah I meant damage as in being loud lol, I think you'll be just fine, underpowering the woofers does no damage (now I mean actual damage) and odds are if you did go with two amps with the potential to push the subs to their limit, you probably still wouldnt be running them 500 watts each anyhow unless you cranked it, and that would probably hurt your ears and your car.
