one sub two amps?

can you wire two identical amps to a single sub. for examlple two 350 watt mono amps into a kicker L7 each amp into a coil at 4ohms. is it possible. would the speaker have any negative side effects to this wiring? would each coil work correctly? anyone ever tried this before?gcorrea

I would highly not reccomend trying to run 2 amps to a sub when the amps are not strappable. Thier are alot of amps that are...what type of amps do you have?2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

What if you have a dual voice coil sub and you have two amps?? Like one amp to one coil?? Possible...not strapping

possible, but without a very very accurate meter to set the gains on both amp and make sure 100% that they have less then 1% variance, then it is very very possible to destroy a woofer2009 0-1000 Trunk WR 154.0DB 2009 1001+ Trunk WR

...and actually, having them out of phase is even safer than not. The sub actually should move less which means less heat generated and less excursion. Of course this leads to less bass.

I feel strange. I have deja vu and amnesia at the same time.

to set the gain as close as possible to each other, i was going to turn the amps to max setting and using the crossovers gain to drive both of the amps at the same level instead of trying to match each amp individually. is this a good idea? they are two phoenix gold 2350 rated at 350 watts mono rms, running a single dual voice coil 12" kicker L7. the reason im only using one L7 is because i dont have enough air space under the rear seat of my nissan titan. if i build the box to fit perfectly under the seat and out of the way, i yield just about 2.2 cubic feet. just enough for one sub and the bass im looking for. my other option is to run two 12" kicker comp vrs, one to each amp, but each sub would sit in about 1 to .85 cubic feet. kind of small if you ask me for some descent bass. what should you guys think i should run with. what set up. would you think yield the most bass. thanks for all of your input.gcorrea
