Joe X Posted April 8, 2014 Report Posted April 8, 2014 What model power series amp is it? yes you should wire to 2 ohm as those amps are not .5 ohm st its a T500-1bd the black one that looks the same as the newer bdcp I powered 2 subs at .5 for months and it never even got hot If it works then it works but if at some point it suddenly cooks, you will know why, guys like you feeling that you are lacking output should look into upgrading.
