[QUOTE="av83, post: 7878588, member: 640058"] Unfortunately, you cannot use that amp to its full potential. It is only two ohm stable. Having two 2-ohm subs means you will end up with either a 1 or 4 ohm impedance, depending on how you wire. You cannot wire at 1 ohm to that amp, or you will burn it up.... so that leaves using it at 4 ohms and only getting 200 watts out of it. It might be louder to use one sub and get the 400 out of it at 2 ohms, but that would exceed the rms rating of the sub, so you are better off just using both and wiring them in a series. Wire them like this: [IMG]http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTlWV1Q4CIlSq9cQK_yM_aquPEIEcq0iICCn9GaaUQF4ES-eOg8stI46IF2[/IMG] edit: I would recommend selling/trading that amp for one that makes 600 watts rms at 1 or 4 ohms..
