  1. why not just drop one of the subs and run at 1 ohm the only difference is  +/- 3 dbs???


  2. First of all .67 is one ohm so it is one ohm stable if you measure a 4 ohm voice coil it wont measure 4 ohms because the voice coil is not in motion so whenever you measure a speakers load the load will always read less. IF YOUR READING WAS LESS THEN 0.5 OHM'S THEN YOU WOULD NEED AN AMP THAT IS A HALF OHM STABLE       YES IT WOULD BE SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

  3. I would say either go with the first guys advice use 2 and run them at 1 ohm. Or you could design an amp rack, put 12v fans on it to help keep it cool and don't over do it with you gain or theres a good chance you will fry it. If you get the fans and don't over do it though like I said you should be fine if you want to run all 3.
