Chamois Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 i agree. you cant put 2 different amps together for a number of reasons. power output, crossovers, even the way the internal components react to everything. you just dont do it. and while we are on this topic, dont mix different subs either. to run 3 speakers you would need one amp, or 2 amps that you can strap. not every amp can be strapped so you have to look 1st. now if you run 4 subs (or 2) you could easily run 2 of any amp you want. x2 Great Information I would just go with 4 Comps, cuz Sonic has a KILLER DEAL on Kicker Comps right now BUT if you dont have the room, then just upgrade to a differant amp Quote 2006 Saab 9-3 2.0T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dman1049 Posted August 30, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 (edited) i say 3 comps because i already have 1 and am going to get 2 more from sonics. ill probably end up buying an amp that will do 500 rms and call it good, how would i run 3 subs to the 1 amp Edited August 30, 2010 by dman1049 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HHR Ed Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 If you are intent on using 3 subs, get single 4ohm coils, run them all in parallel for a common 1.33ohm load, and use a single, 1ohm stable mono amp to power all 3. Using the 2 amps you have now just wont work right.
