i'm having a hard time understanding what you said.....you have 4 subs??..and you have 1 amp.....well rarely will you ever run four subs to their potential with just one amp....the way it sounds...you should run one sub to each of the channels on the amp and only use 2 of the subs....wire each sub parrallel so you'll have a 2 ohm load and get 300 rms to each sub....if you want you can get another amp thats the same and do the same thing with that

hope this helped...if i was wrong about the number of subs or anything tell me and i'll try to correct my mistakes

well your correct........i'd suggest doing the same thing as well......going to be hard to acheive a 2ohm sterio load w/ 4 subs....dont think its possible....but im out of it so dont quote me on it.....

and even if you can manage to pull a 2 ohm load out of those subs....you won't be getting near enough power to get those subs sounding good....might as well get another amp or sell 2 subs....//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

not possible. only 4 or 1 ohms between 2. looks like you can only wire 2 subs to that amp. but i'm pretty sure 4 woofers with about 75 each would be louder 2 with 300 but i could be wrong.

glad that you're happy with your product..//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

You'd be a whole lot happier with a slightly more expensive amp..it'll give you real power, not what's stated on the heatsinks.

To Loserpunks reply, you can run 4 subs to one amp. I've seen it done a lot. I am going to be running 4 kicker comp vr's to my Lanzar 1500D, wired to 1 ohm. Each sub will be getting almost its full rms. Each sub will be getting between 300 and 350 RMS, recommended 15-400.
