How many speakers can you run off of one amp, providing that the impedance of the subs and wiring doesn't go lower to than the amps impedance. For example running 4 dual 4 v.c. in a series and then to the amp parallel, providing that the amp can handle a 2 ohm load. Would you be better off having 1 amp running 2 subs and the other amp running 2 subs.

Your correct, as long as the amp first of can handle the impedance that's fine but remember the wattage as well, You definately don't want to kill the amp because of too much wattage and stressing the amp. I had to series two 4 ohm DVC subs and then parrallel them into the amp so it would run at 4 ohms and it worked out great. But remember putting two different amps on two diferent sub will take a long time to equalize power between the two and eventually you might overpower one sub because the two amps have different ratings. hope that helps

As long as you have enough wattage to push all of them, and don’t go lower than the max independence you will be fine with one amp.
