plush4318 Posted January 24, 2016 Report Posted January 24, 2016 Can you effectively power one of these with two strapped m1d amps, one per coil? It's a d1 sub, I'm thinking of trading my 3518 for a 9918, but I want to power it correctly without having to get a m4 or 5 yet 04trailblazer XS d3400 XS xp3000 Pioneer 80prs 2 pairs of DD AW6.5 mids 2 pairs of DD AT28 tweeters DD SS4A DD M1D DD 3518sc in custom kerf port box 2 runs Tspec 0/1 wire
reedal Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 Under powering a subwoofer is not powering it incorrectly. So send a clean signal from your amp to it, and you'll be fine until you have the money for a more powerful amp. You just won't reach its full potential.

Hugh G. Rection Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 If underpowering a subwoofer could damage it then you would never be able to turn your system down, you would have to run it full tilt all the time. Owner of BigAss Ports
plush4318 Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Posted January 25, 2016 So two m1ds would be underpowering it then? Dang. 04trailblazer XS d3400 XS xp3000 Pioneer 80prs 2 pairs of DD AW6.5 mids 2 pairs of DD AT28 tweeters DD SS4A DD M1D DD 3518sc in custom kerf port box 2 runs Tspec 0/1 wire
3vil Posted January 25, 2016 Report Posted January 25, 2016 You have to be very careful running one amp to each coil. If they are not tuned the same then one coil will constantly be trying to move further than the other. Maybe getting the two amps and strapping them might be a better solution? I am not familiar with that amp though, so I don't know of strapping is even an option
