ChichNchonG Unregistered guest | I was wondering if I have 1 1600 watt rms subwoofer and it is a 4ohm DVC sub can I connect 2 - 800watts@4ohm amp's to each of its voice coil one amp to each voice coil on the sub. The amps are the exact same amps. If I can dose the subwoofer has to be dvc2 or dvc4 if the amps are 800 wats @ 4ohms |

ChichNchonG Unregistered guest | When you say mono dose that mean that I should only plug one rca cable into to the amp like only the left not both and if so would it be ok if I plug the left rca into amp 1 and the right rca into amp 2 |

ChichNchonG Unregistered guest | ok well the amps are 800W @ 4ohms and the sub Is a dual 4 ohm coil sub. Now the amps do support strapping but when I had them setup like that with two 12" speakers one seemed louder then the other speaker |
