Silver Member Username: ShadeMoxee, Wa U.S. Post Number: 478 Registered: Nov-06 | becuz he's saying that amp is 2ohm stable and no lower and the 1222 model will wire down to 1ohm and ur amp cannot do that, so get the 1242 instead. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Northwest PA Post Number: 4129 Registered: Jul-06 | Good call Rovin As he said you need the dual 4 ohm sub for use with that amp. If the amp were 1 ohm stable you would get the dual 2 ohm sub. |
