two small or one large amp

i might be getting two more (to make a total of 4) 12 inch type r's

right now im running the two i have on a aq1200d, if i got two more, should i get another 1200d, or sell my current one and get one big amp?

im wanting the most power to these 4 type r's i can get (without possibly damaging them obviously)

I am assuming D4's since he is running a 1200D now, you could get another 1200D and strap them and run the 4 D4's at 2ohms, cheapest soloution imo

so another 1200d? they were at 1ohm, on one aq1200d

well how many batteries in the trunk do you think i need if i ran two aq1200d and a hifonics 6408, off of a 130a alt. like two big batteries in the back?

i would say a kinetic 2400 in the trunk should do it, or equivalent.

Do you have 0 gauge and the big three?

i have 0ga to the distroblock (split to my hifonics amp and aq amp). big three, not yet, but i would do that, and should i run another run of 0g to the back or use the same one

It kind of depends on your money situation. If the subs are D4 then you could wire at 1ohm per amp as said or only wire at 2ohm on the bigger amp. I would imagine you would get more power going with the 2 amp setup. 1 large battery should do the trick mainly and I would say for a long run go large use 2/0 from front to back then 1/0 from back batt to amps.
