[QUOTE="02WS6, post: 8690805, member: 678581"] Just my .2c FWIW from a low voltage electronics guy. Can you? Sure. Should you? Probably not. P3S is a shallow mount, 400W RMS sub - Dual - 2 Ohm. Gothic is a standard mount, 1200W RMS - Dual - 4 Ohm. You can hook them up but you'll probably blow your P3S before you can get anything worthwhile out of the Gothic. Regardless the P3S will be pushing much harder overall than the Gothic at any gain level. The amp might be ok, depending on how you wire the subs together but you'll still be over driving one sub while barely powering the other. That is without taking into effect the possibilities of cancellation/phase/resonance and other points brought up by others way more experienced than myself. In any other thread this would be considered an Apples and Oranges comparison. So again I say, Can you? Sure. Should you? Probably not unless you don't care about SQ at all or the very high likelihood of blowing up your remaining P3S. [/QUOTE]
