Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 606 Registered: Nov-04 | well actually it depends do you want to run them together on the same channel or on seperate channels. |

Silver Member Username: AraknidBOCA , FL U.S. Post Number: 607 Registered: Nov-04 | The easiest thing to do would to wire them in parallel to get a 1 ohm load then find an amp that puts out around 1600 watts x 1 at 1 ohm. Basically this http://www.woofersetc.com/product.asp?0=0&1=0&3=3575 |
