Question

Answer 1

first what size are they? look at the ohms, what are they supposed to be wired to...the closer you get to 1ohm the more likely you are to get a short that will send your system up in flames. Also there is 2 ratings on your sub. R.M.S. and Peak power. you should be concerned with the R.M.S. on your sub. This is the constant wattage the speaker works at, then find an amp that supplies the wattage at 5-7% below that. Otherwise you run the risk of blowing your speakers. Also when you are shopping for your amp pay attention to the THD rating of the amp. This will tell you the amount of interference the amp will allow through..01THD or less is ideal. Good luck hope this helps if you need any more help or just wanna discuss it feel free to ask.

Answer 2

if you have the money, get two Class D Monoblock amplifiers. one for each.  Or you can geta bridgeable 4 channel.  But watch out for your wattage.  For example if each sub is rated at 1000 watts, on a class D amp, look for one that puts out 800 watts.  Usually the RMS wattage is half of the max power.  On a four channel, use the same but look at the bridged power. E.G, 1000 watt amp four channel will have something like 200 watts max per channel 100 rms per channel or it will say 400 watts max bridged x 2 channel 250 watts RMS per channel x2 bridged.  Hope this helps.

Answer 3

well it depends on how many ohms your subwoofers are

if 4ohmdvcs get a 2ch amp 4ohm monobridged stable around 900-1000w or 1ohm amp

if 2ohmdvcs, then mono 2ohm
