Wiring 2 differnt amps to split watts ???

Ya I was told that wouldnt be a problem since technically the subs are in different spaces...I just have the normal wireing of 2 amps off of my cap..the subs are svc 3ohm so i just have the +.- of each sub to 1 amp, since i have 2 w7's i could wire them in parralel to my 1 1600 watt amp, but that would show a 1.5 ohm load and that would be alot to put out for my amp...

If your amp is 1ohm stable, then I believe that would be your best bet.

You're currently running each at 3ohm. What amps do you have?

Another idea would be to trade your two amps for 1 amp that better fits your needs (1,500 RMS).

Ya ive been trying it seems like im stuck with these amps...there 1600 and 1200 Hifonics Brutus BxI 1608 and 1208 there only rms rated which is that # at 1 ohm... why is each amp to 1 sub bad???

are you sure they are single voice coil and not dual 1.5?

1-Channel Mono-Block Operation

550 Watts RMS x 1 @ 4-Ohms

1100 Watts RMS x 1 @ 2-Ohms

1600 Watts RMS x 1 @ 1-Ohms

This amp would run them great actually. Wire the two together for a 1.5ohm load and you would be around 1,100-1,300 rms.

Given the equipment you have, You only need to use 1 amp @1 ohm to deliver plenty of power to the 2 12" subs. The queston is what ohms are the subs rated for ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif

Sounds like he has 2 3ohm svc. His 1608 does 1600 at 1ohm and 1100 at 2ohm. Single amp = the winner //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

let me know how it goes, I'm off to the gym.
