Will it work?

[mcscory05]

I have two pioneer 12's dual 4 ohms wired at 1 ohm on a power acoustik BAMF. I wanted a lil bit more but the only way i think i can get more is if i get two more and wire them at 2 ohms but then i'll be losin power. I was lookin in a book and it shows runnin 3 dual 4 ohms will need a load of 0.67 ohms. Can it be ran on an amp with a 1 ohm stable?

You can but some amps are barely 1 ohm stable and others are way more then 1 ohm stable (.5 or so)

It will void any warranty and you'll have to make your own choice, maybe someone on here can comment on your particular amp but I cant.

You could also get different subs, Pioneer subs arent the best or if your current box is sealed get a ported box.

x2.

Before you go and buy new subs, or more subs, build a ported box. See if that's enough difference for you... if not, grab new subs... or a new amp. Wire it at a higher ohm.

x3, more power is generally not the best way to gain SPL, unless your were underpowering them in the first place.

ain't no way that amp will work under that load
