killerzracing Unregistered guest | i was just about to ask the exact same question |

Silver Member Username: PhuktupbassheadScottsdale, Arizona United State... Post Number: 208 Registered: May-05 | what about running 1 sub at max rms or running 2 subs to split the watts between the two? which would sound better? |

robert rd rd Unregistered guest | so 2 typeR's will hit harder than a typeX. But if i buy a 1ohm mono amp could i put both positive wires in the positive terminal and the 2 negitives in the negitive terminal and drop the 2 R's to 2 ohms will it drop both subs to 1 ohm and both will play ? |
