I gotta say this... If that Audiobohm woofer will take a REAL 1000 watts, LET ALONE 1000 watts RMS, I'm sellin' my Eclipse Ti, and buyin those... Audiobohm WAY over-rates their woofers, tho', so there's no danger of THAT happening.

If you parallel the voice coils, a 3 ohm load will net you somewhere in the 500 watt range (with probably a MAX rating around 750 watts or so) - PLENTY to drive a decent subwoofer to very respectable levels. This being said, I wouldn't really trust the PA amp to do that much, I'm just shooting in the dark...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
