i had a 350w kenwood amp and a typhoon 12 inch sub in my 93 pgtwhich i loved that got stolen, so i figured i would get a better stereo.i went out and got a 1100w kenwood monoblock with 12 inch dual voice coils kenwood excelon sub.....sounded like crap, then the amp would go into protection mode if i put it past 20 volume(i got a alpine 0883 deck).then week after my $400 subwoofer pooched........no sound out of it at all.figured out my problem, it was hoocked up into 1 ohm, which amp is not capable of.now im trying to get the best sub i can, i got a rockford fosgate P1, it was like a little piece of paper in the box, no good.then went out and got jbl1202d, which is a dual voice coil.now im running into 4 ohms......my amp produces 300w @ 4 ohm and 500W at 2ohm.now my question is.there are subs that are dual 4ohm, i have dual 2ohm now which can be ran @4 ohm or @1 ohm, can the dual 4ohm be ran @8ohm and @2ohm then?
