New member Username: MonoxidechildPost Number: 5 Registered: Apr-04 | Hey, Ive got kind of a dumb question, but.. I ordered a dual 2ohm 15 inch SX RE sub, and Ive got a 2 Ohm RF1001bd amp.. can I power the sub with the one amp I have at 2OHMs? Or do i need another amp to successfully power it at 2ohms impedance? Also, does anyone have any recommendations on box sizes, etc.? |

I think they actually all come in dual 4 ohms, unless you say otherwise. If thats the case, then ill be all set to power it with the 1001bd at 2 ohms? |
