Would it be any better to get 2 mono amps over 1 big B/D amp to power 2 4ohm DVC subs?

These are the 2 i am thinking about:

if there 2 dual 4ohm subs i would get the rockford and wire them to 1ohm.

that amp is putting out 1400+rms.

crap. that was the one i was planning on getting. On their website it says that its stable at 1000watts 1ohm. If it is going to be too much can u guys recommend an amp to power the subs i stated above. i want something that is good and is about $300.

The subs are the Polk 2124DVC

Here are the specs:

Overall Frequency Response 23-200 Hz
Nominal Impedance 4 ohms
Minimum Impedance 3.3 ohms
Power Handling (continuous) 400 w
Power Handling (peak) 800 w
Efficiency 88 dB
Voice Coil Diameter: Driver 2" (5.08cm)
Magnet Weight 60.00 oz.

I am actually willing to spend a little more and getting 2 of these:

If someone can find something that has the same or better quality that would help me out a lot.

There is no such thing as too much power! You can limit power output when you set the gain.


Get the RF amp. Great quality and underrated.
