Can this amp be plugged into 2 subs?

Question

PDX-1.1000: http://www.alpine-usa.com/US-en/products/product.php?model=PDX-1.1000

or do i need 2 500 rms amps for 2 subs

Answer 1

Yes you can this is one of the only mono amp I have seen that is stable at 4 and 2 ohms, this will give you lots of wiring options and will be compatible with any sub and you will be able to use it for two subs as well.

Answer 2

You can connect two subs, provided that you keep the total impedance at or above 2 ohms.   For example, if you have two DVC 4-ohm subs, and you wire all the voice coils in parallel, you'd end up with a 1-ohm load which is not recommended.  In this case you'd want to wire each sub's voice coils in series, then wire the two subs to the amp in parallel for a 4-ohm load.

If you tell us the make and model number of your subs, I can probably find you a wiring diagram.

Edit:  Hmm.  Your 3-ohm subs can be combined for a 1.5 ohm load, or a 6 ohm load.  Neither is ideal for that amp.  I'd say try it with the 1.5 ohm load.   Here's a diagram: http://mobile.jlaudio.com/graphics/Suppo...

yea just bride the amp if it dont sound like it is pushing enough to the 2 subs but i think it will
