The manufactures spec on our amp is 1 x 150 watt RMS at 4 ohms and 1 x 300 watts RMS at 2 ohms ( peak is 1 x 900 watts ) Would it be better for me to use only one of the subs, this way I would be able to hook the one sub up at 2 ohms there for getting more power out of our amp??? if so do you know how to wire up the one sub at 2 ohms?????
