There can be any number of subs ran to one amp.... you do not need to have one sub per amp.

Again, as I posted earlier.... it is all about matching the sub(s) to the amp. I have run thirty two 12" subs off of a 150 watt mono amp before. It is knowing what you can and cannot do that will make or break the system.

Im looking at an amp, on the front of it it says 400 watts rms but in the description it says

2 OHM Output Power - Full Range 1200W
Bridged Power At 2 OHMS - Full Range 1200W
Total Max Power 1200 Watts

so does that mean its 400 watts or 1200 ???

Always post the make and model of what it is you are looking at, otherwise all we can do is guess.
