since you have the dual 4ohm subs, you can either wire them for 1ohm or 4ohms. those subs can not handle a true 1500RMS each so im going to guess you were looking at max specs. Never do that! max specs dont mean anything. I would say get the amp in the link below and run the subs at 1ohm. cnat beat the price with free shipping direct from the company. Excellent customer service too.

Hmm, great price for that amp. I could save more money for the cables and wires and stuff and have more left over. So since my amps run 1000w @ 1 ohm, running this amp at 1 ohm will put the amount of power at its max?
And it doesn't matter how long it is. I'm putting them on the back of my rear bench seat behind the box anyway.

nope....rms means that should be the consistent minimum amount of power at 13.8volts

Hmm, so what would be bad about buying an amp like this or this which obviously runs a lot more watts at 1 ohm? Should I be running somewhere about 1500W at 1 ohm?

Would 2400W on 1 ohm be too much? If I use the subs too often I don't want them frying..and the Cadence amps are like 2 feet long, so strapping two together might be pretty long.

They're out of stock now, which sucks. $400 is pricey though if I bought 2, but I might run out of trunk space, especially if I put them on the left and right sides of the box and had them laying down. I figured putting it on the back of the bench seat is the best idea since you don't lose any room and it's out of the way. My last paycheck goes in tonight so I wanna order it online tonight as soon as possible I guess. I just wanna finish my system. I'm about to look around for more subs though that I can buy with my budget of a little over $400.
