run the subs at 4 ohms total load than.and strap the amps together(huge power,good control).
run them at 1 ohm for burps.
they will take it.

Dont run them at 1 ohm.

to sacrifice cone control for minimal amounts of extra power would be worse. SPL or Sq control is very inportant.

The kicker amps may not even give you any power advantages. Dont know because ive never tested one.

ya... bridge the amps into 4ohms for daily driving and 1ohm for burps....

Running at 1ohm for daily will more then likely run the amps into distortion before you get full power... (amps will run out of current before the rails can hit maxamum voltages)

i run my zr1000 at 1 ohm for burps,it puts out power comparable to a crossfire vr2000d at 1 ohm [img]graemlins/deal4u.gif[/img] kicker makes tough amps [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]
