The number of subs is unlimited. As long as the ohm load does not go below 2ohms per channel, or 4ohms bridged.

thats awsome then im assuming then i can run 4 12s off a bridged 2ch amp. But now would you recommend that i run two 12s or two 15s or four 12s. to maxiumize my sound and keep the quality bass

look in the left hand of this page the blue area under "general information" theres calculators and charts check those out that will tell you everything.
also check your owners manual for the rms wattage of that amp, im sure its no where close to 6000 watts. ------------- ac delco am radio and sparkomatic 40 watt sound exploder

Yes, that amp is more like 1000 watts at 10% distortion. But regardless, as was stated above you can attach any number of drivers to it as long as the net impedance does not fall below 2-ohms. I recommend you decide on your budget, then look for two high-quality 4-ohm SVC subs you can afford; instead of thinking in terms of "how many," think in terms of "how good." ------------- Support the12volt.com

What are the model numbers of your sub(s) and amp(s)?

WinISD says ported (EBP = 64.6)
Here are the Ported Enclosure recommendations.
And do you know that AMP is not rated at .5ohms?

Why would you even want to run the amp down to 0.5 ohms anyway? That would generate a fair amount of heat that you would have to consider, even if it could go that low. Reread all of your specs and make sure that what you have can do what you want it to - else you will be left disappointed more than likely. ------------- VEHICLE: 2002 GMC Sonoma ZR2

dont have the spec sheet . the person i bought the amp and 1 of the 12s from had it wired down to .5 ohm so i assumed it being a class d amp it could go that low . im gonna try soundstream for spec sheet. thanks for the imput im gonna have a few dollars rapped up in this so i dont wanna blow it up.

not a good amp keeps going into protect mode but maybe its my fault . if a amp says its 2 and 4 ohm stable does that mean its automaticly 2 ohm stable bridged my spec sheet doesent say . on the possitive side of things before it goes into protect mode it loud as hell

If the amp is 2-ohm stable, you can only BRIDGE it into a 4-ohm or higher impedance.
Class D does not mean "low-impedance capable". Class D is an internal operating mode. Class A, Class A/B, and Class D are all common "modes" of operation for audio frequency amplifiers.
Dude... PLEASE, before you burn your car to the ground, PLEASE talk with someone that can help you install this gear correctly. From your posts, it sounds to me like you know very little to nothing about amplifiers, impedance, enclosures... indeed ALL aspects of safe car audio installation... I am not saying tht you can't LEARN them, but I am asking that you get help with your first system, until you understand a little more, and can properly wire your equipment.
BEST case, I see you going broke buying fuses... WORST case, I see you not ever being able to get car insurance again, because you won't be able to afford it after this claim.
