I wasn't sure how to word this without it becoming a pissing contest or vs. thread. That's not what this is about. I just want to know the pros and cons of having multiple sub amps at 4 ohms rather than just one amplifier at 1 ohm. The amp I'll be using is the MBQuart ONX1.1500D.

Linky to the subs.

The subs are in a sealed wall (~21cubes). Not sure if you need to know that but there it is.

I admit this feels a little over my head so any info you guys can give will help. I would like to do one amp per sub but I just need a little help convincing if it is a good idea.

Well with multiple amps, you reduce box rise. And with those amps being at 4 ohms, you're pushing each amplifier a lot easier than the one amp that would be at 1 ohm. Plus the 4 ohm amps would be ~%20 more efficient.

Now were talkin' lol. Is the current draw going to be the same? It seems like a simple question in my head but when I think about it all I see is a black hole. hehe

You should see a tiny bit more current draw with 4.
