[QUOTE="BSchrowang, post: 8518840, member: 669770"] Mismatching subs can be a problem if one sub is stronger than the other(s). The pressure off the back of the cone can actually cancel out the other subs movement causing it to reduce output considerably. In your case you could probably be alright but the best thing to do if you are going to run them is separate them into two separate but identical boxes. Running two amps instead of one isnt a bad thing. If each sub is a dual 2 ohm then you can wire each one to an amp at 1 ohm to get max power from the amps. If they are dual 4 ohm then you should just wire them together to one amp for a 1 ohm final load. If you do use two amps you need to either gain match them or bridge them to run it properly. [/QUOTE]
