two amps into one sub to drop it to 20hms... how ?
if i was to get two class D amps... how would i wire them
im guessing i must get a 2ohm subwoofer to get the best out of the two amps
but the sub that i want they only make the Impedance at Dual 4 Ω
so how would i wire the amps to drop the sub to 2 0hms ?

im in the market for 2 identical amps...
prolly a hifonic somethin that can do 500-750rms at 1ch at 2ohms....
so if i get these 2 amps how would i wire them into the sub that has dual voice coil at 4ohms...
if i just take one amp per VC i wont get it to drop to 2ohms and be loosing alot of power

Either way trying to connect 2 amps to one sub is not the best idea. You have a clean start so why not just pick a single sub/amp combination that works well together. Seems like most people can manage it, why complicate your life by trying to connect 2 amps to one sub?

i duno its more for a show look. i wanted to have 2 amps hooked up to a monster 9500series 1000rms mtx
its 4+4 sub i know how to hook it up with one amp to drop it 2 ohms but i duno how i do that with 2 amps
also i wanted 2 have to amps because two 500rms amps provide better flow then 1 1000rms.. or so i heard

If you want to run two amps to that sub, your best bet would be to get two strappable amps. Strap them, and hook them up to your sub with coils in parallel. The coils in parallel on that sub would give a 2 ohm load, but that would be split in half by the pair of amps, resulting in a 1 ohm load seen by each of them. This would be best to get max power out of your amps, assuming they're 1 ohm stable.

i dont think i understand does a two strappable amp mean amp that hooks up to another amp then into the sub ?
diagrams ?

Its like wiring subs together, except your wiring the amps together.

The problem qith two amps on one sub is you have to cut your crossover at the same freuqnccy and ajust them to th exactly same power,...
strapable amps if you really really want 2 or one powerfull
I would definatly go with one big amps, first it'S cheaper or yo uare gonna be able to ge more quality...

Actually one of the biggest advantages to strapping most amps is the fact that you DONT have to synchronize them with one another... the master/slave function does it for you.
When you strap amps, you connect the negative speaker outputs from one amp to the negatives on the other. The positive coil(s) on the sub is connected to the positive speaker output on the master amp, and the negative coil(s) on the sub is connected to the positive speaker output on the slave amp.
