how much power to the subs?

[sleepyalero]

amp: Kicker zx1000.1

specs: 1000w @ 2 ohm

subs: (2) 12' kicker shallow mount compvt's. (4 ohm subs)

rms 400w @ 4 ohm


question is, how much power would each sub get if i ran it like this? im trying to help my step dad out in a sound system and cant quite figure out how much power each sub would get if i ran two 4 ohm subs to a 1 channel 2 ohm amp.

the 2 subs would be getting a combined 1000w. thats how mine are wired. turn the gain down a little if your worried about overdriving them

He's right. Your amp should have a gain knob, turn it down a bit.
