Will these subs work with my amp???

[stocker08 10+ year member]

I have an MA Audio M700XE amplifier ( http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_6561_MA+Audio+M700XE.html ) which says it puts out 1000wrms bridged to 4 ohm. I am pretty sure the amp doesn't put out that much. It has to be closer to around 750wrms.

If i had 2 12" 4ohm DVC Type-R's, i could wire them to put out a 4ohm load bridged on my amp (sorry if i worded this wierd).

I understand that i would be underpowing these a little, but would it work? How do you think it work sound?? If you have a 15" L5 or L7, sell it to me.

Thanks!

You would be straining the amp and speakers. Not the best idea.

yes it would work

alright cool. I thought it would work. It wont hurt any of the equipment as long as i keep the gains set a little lower, right?

just use one for the mean time, i bet you it will sound so much better having 1 powered right than 2 being underpowered. this way you wont be damaging anything.

just save up for a stronger amp and then run both of them. just my 2 cents.

i thought that it doesn't damage anything if you underpower the subs a little.

would it seriously sound better to only run one of the subs???
