[QUOTE="kross, post: 3281325, member: 577729"] LMAO, that is so funny. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/hilarious.gif.02a037aad04aa96f19982b298a3d70a8.gif[/IMG] First off, no it is not possible to hook up the sub you currently have to 1 ohm. It's a single voice coil, 4 ohms. 4 ohms is your only option with only one of them. It isn't possible to get more power with just the one sub and one amp you currently have. However, if you're planning on adding another identical amp and sub, get the amp first. You can strap the two amps, for 2000w of power at 4 ohms, which is too much for your single sub, but you can turn down the gains for 1000w, which is way better than the 500w you're currently getting. Then, when you add the second sub, wire them in parallel, which when you wire two 4-ohm subs in paralle, gives you a 2-ohm load. Those two amps will put out 3000w into a 2-ohm load, 1500w per sub. Or maybe sell everything and start over. [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
