Wattage going to each sub?!

[LeXtreme 10+ year member]

Hi, i just hooked two of my 15's up in parallel + to +, - to - which is running a 2ohm load and the amp can provide 700w bridged and thats what im doing, so how do i know what wattage is going to each speaker, like do i divide by 2 or what? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

also i've used this wiring setup and have SVC sub...:

Oh ok thankz, so that means i have 350WRMS going to each 15", ok not too bad..

what kinda subs are they

I have two Lightning Audio 800W 15"

They are:

Lightning Audio 15"

800W MAX

400W RMS

4 Ohm

SVC

Thats all i know, can't find any more info on the net, because i think they're the old model ones, so yeah if anyone can find anything more out, that would be cool... but they are pretty awesome for what they are, they do like 150dB at a resent dBDrag. And go very low, am looking to upgrade in the near future so yeah will be looking around sometime!

what amp are you using?

It's a :

American Pro VS-8877 1600W

400WRMS X4 @4Ohm

700WRMS x 2 @4Ohm

Also is 2ohm stable! Im only using 2 channel's at the moment beacuse the other 2 are blown or something, gonna get fixed soon! Otherwise i would be going 700 into each sub!

Well thats what i believe it does!

So yeah its a 4ch amp, pretty massive, over 2ft wide this is what it looks like:

so ya reckon isnt' a bad setup, what do you think i can do to improve it, im thinkin of gettin a mono amp and upgrading the subs sometime so will umm yeah be looking around and asking for advice! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Will be entering competitions in the future..
