[QUOTE="Jeffdachef, post: 8283948, member: 650438"] Your wiring options are only 1 ohm and 4 ohms, you cannot get 2 ohms from 2 d4 subs. I'd say run it at 1 ohm but keep the gains low then do the big 3 upgrade whenever you can scrounge up the funds for it. Easy safety check: Take a digital multi-meter Check the voltages at the battery when your system is playing on full tilt and if its dipping below 12.8 then lower the gains more. If your maintaining above 13.5V at full tilt, you can go even harder with it. Just because it says 1700.1 at 1 ohm doesnt mean its gonna pull that amount of current from your system at all times. Music is dynamic(unless your playing bass boosted crap or decaf) and your not gonna see that much watts out of your amp even at full strength. Just making it clear, I'm not making cracks about amp quality, just saying its like that with every amp. [/QUOTE]
