1st... each sub is a dual 2 ohm. In series will be 8 ohms ea. Parallel them down to 2 ohms

2nd... a Silver Anniv. Power Acoustik 5500, or 2) Power Acoustik a1800db amps, or a Power Bass X-Treme 4000 watt

3rd... a capacitor (@ 1farad = 1000 watts) will help

4th... 2 yellow tops in parallel will help also

I am running 4 Power Acoustik 1800db amps on 4 mofo 12's with a Power Acoustik 20 farad cap

..................imagine 151db of street bass tuned to 34 htz.

Be more specific with your questions. It's unclear exactly what you're trying to achieve. Do you want your system to be extremely loud, or are you just trying to add a little bottom end to your music? Nearly any amp will work, so long as you don't feed them too much power. However, the type of sound you're going after will dictate which direction you go. Let us know what your intentions are so we can better help you.

First, ditch the cap idea and upgrade your big three...refer to the stickey for more info...a cap will not do squat especially for over 1000 true watts.
Second I would say if you want to run 2000 watts you prolly may want to start thinking about a HO alt.
Each sub wired in series would be 4 ohms nominal then parallel them together and you have a final 2 ohm load. In series each will NOT be 8 ohms.
Adding a second battery will let you sit with the car off or sit and idle with the system on for a longer period of time but won't keep the voltage above charging level.
I wouldn't use a battery isolator...rather a heavy duty relay
I don't really know what else to say besides how much do you wanna spend on an amp??

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
