[QUOTE="quackhead, post: 7902548, member: 573547"] [quote name='sneeky1']I was thinking about going with a pair of 8's as well. I think both those amps would fit under the seats also. What would be the way to go on wiring the p1000 and the subs and also any ideas on ported boxes. Any good prefabs or would customs be the way to go[/QUOTE] if you were to use the 8" subs I referred you to, they would be wired parallel to 2 ohms on that amp for about 375-400w each.
