that's prob the most effecient way. theres not much more u can do other then a lower ohm rating.

i don't think you can hook up 2 2ohm subs at 1ohm.... all i can think of is 8, 2, and .5ohms. How do you have them wired? series/parallel?

type r's are good subs, i just don't think you have them wired right..

and what are the specs of your amp? (rms not max plx and ty)

2 dual 2 ohms will wire to .5ohms, 2 ohms, and 8 ohms. You must have them currently wired in series @ 2 ohms and ur pushin around 900rms probably. Thats the best way to wire them to this amp.

CEA 2006 Power Ratings

800W x 1RMS [2U@14.4V A1% THD+N]

450W x 1RMS [4U@14.4V A1% THD+N]

S/N 79dB (Ref:1W into 4U)

So after all that what would be the best way to run at.
