Amp Choices.

Yes it will take more power to run lower ohms.

And ya 1000rms or better.

What size alt do you have?

The type s sub won't take 1000 rms. At least not for long. But the amp should have some overhead to run smoothly and cool the ampere 1000 is a good choice to

Jim..that AB 26801d would be a nice little amp on those subs..Beast of little amp at that..

Yes it will. Wait for the new Vfl hybrids. These are link able. And the bigger ones have 0 gauge inputs for power and ground

Just a standard alternator but it's new. Thats why I though 4 ohms would be better for the electrical system but if it doesn't matter I'll go with 1 ohm

i did say at 1 ohm it will take more power from your system...

wire to 1ohm and watch your voltage...

if it dips really low get a 2nd battery.

but its up to you how you wire them.

1 vs 4 ohms won't make much (any?) difference if the power level is similar.

Generally, an amp's efficiency will drop a little as it gets closer to minimum impedance, but only by a few percent.

1000w at 4 ohms vs 1000w at 1 ohm probably wouldn't amount to more than a 5-10% difference in current draw assuming the amps are the same class.

SQ -- pretty subjective. The main difference would be damping, but at ~1000w to a pair of 12's I really don't see that as a major factor unless it's a POS amp with an exceptionally low DF to start with.

So technically 4 ohms would be preferable to 1, but realistically it's not likely you'd hear a significant difference based only on impedance.

However, you'd probably pay twice as much (or more) for 1000w at 4 vs 1000w at 1.

ppi1000.1 would be a good fit.

thats what i said...

but thanks for clearing it up....
