fosgate is good...but just do yourself a favor and go get a power acoustik goth series amp

Whats the model number?

Are you sure its not a mono amp? If it is, you cant bridge it. You can drop your impedance by varying the Ohm load, but thats done with your subs wiring.

Need sub info also. Memphis makes a few 10" subs, and Sony has made many 1200 amps...

x2...i also have a goth series power acoustik amp, and ive got it hooked up to a couple 800watt/400rms Kicker CompCVR's and i think ive blown one of the subs from the amp having too much power...despite it being matched up perfectly power rating wise (720watt rms/1channel @ 4 ohms) i really believe they are underrated

rofl at the power acoustik goth people. IF ur gonna get power acoustik get the 3000D, settle for nothing less.

ya bridge it. wire to 2 ohms each(parallel)(pos to pos, neg to neg), then wire the 2 teminals on the box in series(pos to neg on the box).
