Multiple amp or single amp configuration

[MDdrolman]

Hello everyone,

 

I am getting two FI xv4 12s.  They are 1500 watts RMS and I can get either dual 1 ohm or dual 2 ohm.  I currently have 2 Hifonics brutus elite 1700.1 monoblock.  It was on the amp test tuesday.  It is supposed to be 1700 watts @ 1ohm.  It hit 1800 on dynamic burst, but seemed like it was around 1450 watts @ 1 ohm certified.  The second amp can be a slave to the first amp. Should I have one amp for each sub which I can buy  dual 2 ohm and wire each one separately to 1 ohm. 

 

OR:

 

 is there any benefit to selling these 2 amps and get one good 3000 watt amp and get 2 1ohm dvc voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel which would be 1 ohm. 

 

So 1 sub for each amp, or 2 subs on 1 big amp.

 

subs will be in a 3.5 cube ported enclosure tuned to 31hz.  I know 3.5 cube is kind of the minimum for these subs, but I already have a nice enclosure built.

Thanks for your thoughts.  Let me know if you need more info.

Sell the hifonics and get one good efficient amp, easier to manage, and you don't have to worry about matching each amps settings.

Thank you for the suggestion,  any good amp recommendations? I will do more research on it, but a recommendation never hurts.
