Whats goin on guys?

So I just got my 2 new Fi Q 15s in the other day and i'm looking to upgrade my amp. Right now I just have a Boss Audio 2400watt.

I want to get a 4000 watt amp but I'm not sure how to go about it. The 2 15s are 1 ohm I believe. If you look at the website for the subs I didnt add any additional parts besides the cooling option.

What amp would be a good one to run for these 2? Also, how would I go about wiring it seeing they are 1 ohm???

Any help is appreciated

THANKS

On the Fi Audio website the only options were 1 ohm and 2 ohms.

I left it to be 1 ohm

good, that means you can wire it to 1 ohm if they're both Dual 1's I say Sundown, DC, AQ, Crescendo, any decent amp mentioned around here

What the f**k is an appropriate signature supposed to look like?

Oh really?

I've had plenty of smaller systems like dual 12's and dual 10's and ive always had 2 channels....

But I was just asking about what amp cause I've never had anything bigger than the 12's so I wanna give them the most power possible without harming the subs nor amp.

One more question,

If the subs are already 1ohm, and i do actually use a monoblock amp... How will I go about wiring the 2 subs together to keep 1 ohm? Just wire them in series?

I'm appreciating all the help guys!

2 channels will work, but a monoblock is what most people run on their subs. And just because you can hook up 4 wires to a monoblock does not make it a 2 channel

Clearly, Im saying if i wire the 2 subs together, therefore having only 2 total wires going to the amp... How would I wire the 2 subs together to keep them at 1 ohm? just (+) to (+) and (-) to (-)?
