I have had someone offer me 3 10 wo's and i already have 2. so i was wondering if i were to purchase a zapco 500 mono would this have the proper amount of power? I was not sure so i decided to ask you guys

Also would you have any suggestions for an amp if it would have enough power

well the load from 5 speakers would be an odd ball of a number but a zapco amp can take odd loads as well, these subs take 125rms. but we used to run ours at 400rms each, there are 2 routes to go, you can gian 3db by either doubling power to each sub in your current setup, or add 2 more subs and remain at the same amount of power for each sub. what amp do you have now?

i have a zapco 360 4 channel. Channel 1 and 2 are running the mids and highs, then i have 3 and 4 bridged with the 2 w0's. I also might add it hits very well many people have asked my why my 12s look so small and i have to break the news to them that they are 10 and the looked stunned.

My original plan was to get only 2 more wo's then a friend of mine was going to get ride of 3 w0's so i thought, why not. I havent purchased the subs yet becasue i was wondering if i did get the zapco 500 if it would still hit.

what is the rating on the zapco amp you have now? im thinking 90x4@4 or something similar. that would be 150-180 at 4 bridged and 300-400 at 2 bridged and I am assuming that what you are running at. If the 500 is 500x1@4 and 1000x1@2 then you could wire the 4 subs to get about the same power to each and gain some bass, realistically you would be better replacing the subs with w3's or w6v2, for the cost-to db ratio..but that my 2 cents
