I have a question can i run two channels into one sub to get more watts going into the sub cuz i have amp  with the options below and i want to get two amps for each of my 800 watt subs and i was wondering if this amp would be suitable to push one of my subs to make it have a lot of bass and good sound

The 2004 A235HCT high current  amplifier comes with a heat sink

100W RMS x 2 @ 1 ohm stereo 70W RMS x 1 @ 4 ohms mono

If you are talking about bridging the two channels in this amp to drive one sub, sure you can do that.  This Audiobahn will probably put out a realistic 200 watts into 1 ohm.  But if you are talking about using TWO of these amps to drive one sub, then no, you can't do that with these.

do u think that will be enough to make my subs hit hard or should i keep looking for another two amps because i found another amp on ebay but its not from an authorized audiobahn dealer and it  doesnt come with the warranty likethe amp above but it has these options  it  might seem like a dumb question but im looking for good looks and good quality thanks

Again, if you are planning to run two seperate amps to one sub, DO NOT DO IT.  If you are talking about running two CHANNELS from one amp (i.e.: operating a stereo amp in BRIDGED mode) than that is OK.

So which is it?

If you are going to buy on-line (like e-bay), make sure that you get some kind of warrenty (whether it be from the manufacturer or the dealer).  You never KNOW for sure that the product you are getting will work right or not, so don't take the chance and get a warrenty.

I don't know why you are insisting on Audiobahn, but if you're locked in to this brand for some reason, the A8000T mono sub amp would probably be a better choice in the same price range than either of the two you have listed.  What subs are you trying to power?

if you reduce the port length of a port and add it to its diameter would that make a diff!? say using a 4" port that requires a length of say 10" for ex. cant you use a 6" port with a length of maybe 6"?
