this is mainly for Canan.....I'm going to see about buying some subs from him...RE 8's. They're 175 watts rms each..now, I can get a kicker zx350.2 for about $200 shipped.
1>since it is 175rmsx2@2ohms shouldn't that work perfectly with those subs?
2>since the subs are dvc 4ohm...to hook each one up, I hook the + on one vc to the + on one channel, and the - on the vd to the - on the other channel, then do the same thing on the other sub on the second channel...correct?

btw, heres a pic of the amp

TOO much for the amp??? the amp says its 175watts rms x 2channels at 2ohms...and the subs are 175 watts rms each, so if I hookup 1 sub to each channel shouldnt that work?? If not...let me know a good amp then.

prob be a lil more then u think..
350x2 is a lil to much
try something more like 170-200 x 2 and ull be fine
and if there dualvc hook them up 4 ohm loads
svc hook them up 4 ohm loads
EASy....

and I can get it there for about 170 shipped....so IF I wire each sub to a separate channel, then it should be ok...or am I missing something?I mean if each channel is separate like that and I wire each sub to 2ohms...doesnt that mean each sub is going to get 175 watts?

yes you will be fine with that amp and those subs

but if it were me i would go for a cheaper amp.....beacuse you can get 350w rms alot cheaper than that

Ok i see...and yes the amp will be fine for those subs ^^ dunno what he was talking about... also if the subs are dual 2 ohm subs hook up like this http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =2&impedance=DVC2x2 or if there dual 4 which i dont think they are hook them up like thishttp://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs =2&impedance=DVC4x2
and just bridge them to the kicker amp... which will be putting 35o maybe lil more to both subs and you will be set
