If the CV's are really 600w rms, then you need 1200w rms amp to power both. Since you mentioned 4ohms DVC subs, that means the amp has to put out 1200w rms @ 4ohms or 1ohm. Therefore, look for am that has those numbers.
christina riggins New member Username: Riggins Post Number: 6 Registered: Mar-07	Posted on Wednesday, March 21, 2007 - 20:27 GMT So i got the CVs. they say they are 600w rms each (1200w rms pair) and can be wired at 1 or 4 ohm. Will this amp work before this buy it? Memphis 16-PRD500.1 500x1 1OHM RMS RMS Power (W) 200X1 @ 4ohms / 300x1 @ 2ohms / 500x1 @ 1ohm THD @ 4 ohms 0.05% Frequency Response +/- 0.5dB 10Hz - 500Hz
