I have an RE SX12- Is it possible to wire each voice coil up to a separate amp? I'm thinking of using two Audiobahn A8002T, both bridged at 4 ohm. I should have somewhere in the realm of 1000w with both.

My only concern is what happens if one of the amp shuts down during operation (thermal, or some other event). Would the speaker be damaged by running off the single voice coil for a short period of time?

i would not suggest it.. even if you get it gain matched power will slightly be different on each coil and you could end up with a misaligned coil

best bet is sell those amps and buy yourself something quality and run a single amp

Don't do it. Just don't. You'd have to match the output perfectly from the amps or it will spell bad times.

I appreciate the info. I wasn't aware that output would vary between the two.
