if a subwoofer is dvc, cud u have two amps hooked up to one sub, each amp for each coil? for instance, i have 800w amps at 2 ohms, and cud i hook each one up to a coil in any dvc sub at 2 ohms? i wud just need two terminal cups or wutever on the box, i think this is correct if someone cud verify this. thanks

I'm pretty sure you can't do that. I can't remember why but you can't.

of course u can, but i don't recommed it unless u know what u are doing. All of the spl pros use more amps than subs. The mtx RFL van uses (8) 1000 d's on (4) RFL's.

But in ur instance, ur sub must be dual 2ohm to work. What sub u have that u wanna juice it with 1600 watts. I don't recommend it in ur situation.

truck i helped to build had 16 amps and two subs and I had one 15 with 4 amps in my car for a few days you can run 2 amps per voice coil with the right amps and setup.

some amps allow you to do what's called strapping, which is basically what you're talking about. Not all though so check your amp specs before you try it.

if you got the IDMAXV3D2 then you could hook up one amp to each of the voice coils of the sub. that amp is not gonna be strappable though.
