What if?

You have a dual ohm sub and you wire one coil with a 1000w amp and the other coil with a 1500w amp?

Will it play sideways?

Why would you want to do this?

I would like to see a video of that.

Well, if you had some way of matching the output levels from the amp (via DMM, for example), nothing bad would happen.

even if it wasn't gain matched - assuming the sub can handle that kind of power I don't think it would cause any major problems, but I bet it would sound like complete dung

I could see problems with the amps more than the subs. If they're not gain matched you could have one amp trying to drive the other. Even if they are gain matched you could have small differences in response.

I don't know if any of that will equal catastrophe, but I sure don't think it would be good.

I guess it only works in theory. Haha

Well even if you had 2 1k watt amps they wouldnt always put out the same output.

Test the theory!

I don't have two amps...Sorry someone else gets to be the ginney pig.

Assuming you didn't overdrive the subwoofer thermally or mechanically, nothing damaging would occur (to the subwoofer).
