i have a few Q's here..

i ahve 2 8" Punch XLC Subs (400 peak 200 RMS each) single 4 ohm coils,

i also have 2 spare amps, a Hifonics Z200,

50 watts x 2 channels into 4 Ohms (stereo)

100 watts x 2 channels into 2 Ohms (stereo)

200 watts x 1 channel into 4 Ohms (bridged)

Sounddomain is telling me that its 1 ohm stable, so im taking that to mean 1 ohm stereo stable, and 2 ohm mono stable...

Also have an older RF Power 200a1 lying around...

The Rf is a mono amp, which would be better for these subs?

i can get a 2 ohm mono onto my Hifonics, right?

I'm asking this because I am looking to sell the subs (actually, tehy are sold) and hopefully an amp...

both amps are 2 ohm mono stable, so which would be my better choice for wiring?

Use the fosgate. It will sound better.

actually, having hooked up teh fosgate to my 12, (noramlly runnig with teh hifonics)

the fosgate sounds a little worse, lol.

I thought both amps were same power.

taht aaRE RATED at the same power...

however, this is an older Fosgate and is fairly conservatively rated...

it was louder, but wasnt as clean...
