Hookin this up to 2 12" kicker cvr's rated at 400w @ 2 ohms per sub. Need to know if they will be underpowered, amp is rated at 230w @ 2 ohm x 2. Anyone got a birth sheet?
Already have the amp, thinking about gettin the kickers and just want to know if they will be underpowered and risk damaging the subs because of it. (for a friend's setup) I believe the subs are DVC 4 ohm, we'd wire each of them down to 2 ohms then run each sub off it's own channel on the amp.
Is there a way to wire them together so that I could bridge the amp and get a 4 ohm load with 1 set of wires from the amp to the subs?
"just want to know if they will be underpowered and risk damaging the subs because of it."
If the gain is set correctly - no chance whatsoever. Even if you do crank the gain and clip that amp to pieces (which you obviously should NOT be doing) it's highly unlikely you're going to damage those subs with an amp of that power.

yes, but 2 ohms stereo will net the same power as 4 ohms mono. You'd do it like this:
