what brand / model amp do you have and what are its specs... rms watts, ohms, channels. with DVC 4ohm you can only get either a 4ohm or 1ohm load for a mono amp.

i have a jbl bp1200.1 and its stable at 4 and 2 ohms, and i have 2 audiobahn aw1200Q's they have 700 watts rms, and the amp does 600 at 4 ohms and 1200 at 2 ohms

i think someone said that amp is 1 ohm stable - check the manual. if it is you are in luck.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

the JBL manual says that the amp is definitely 1-ohm stable, but output is not any more than the output at 2 ohms. So you'll have a one ohm load with 600 watts going to each sub. I'm guessing the bass from those 1200Q's will interfere with your heartbeat.

BONUS!!! wire it all up for a 1 ohm load and pound it loud!!! wire everything in parallel = all + to + and - to -. from the box terminals wire two sets of wires from the + to + and - to - of each VC for each sub. and then wire from the amp to the box terminals all + to + and - to - and you will be ready to rock.
