Alright, I searched the forums and found similar topics but not one exactly the same. Here's the deal:
I'm a big fan of multiple sub installs. I went from 2 to 3 to 4. My last succesful install was 4 -10" HE2's powered from a JBL 1200.1 in a single cab 96 Ram p/u. i loved it. Then i got a hell of a deal on a guy selling me a Kicker 1200.1 the black one not silver for $350. I bought it. It worked great in my new Tahoe but my subs have slowly met their ends. i was now hoping to use both of my "powerhouse" amps in the Tahoe with all the extra room. I was either going to do a 6 or 8 sub install using both amps. now i have heard that multiple sizes and brands in subs is never a good idea. i have no problem with that since i will buy all same brand and all same size subs. The problem is:
I want to run 3 or 4 subs on each amp. each amp would see a load of around 1 ohm. right as i was about to place my order for subs, my co-workers 1 installer 1 sales, said that i wasn't going to like how it sounded since i was using different amps. I don't compete and don't plan to. I tend to think that the difference will be minimal.
Does anyone think the subs will somehow cancel themselves? I love the rumble and sound that i had in my Ram. I don't care much for extreme sound quality. I like the boom but i also listen to music at lower volumes which is why i usually use sealed enclosures which is what i plan to use in this case.
I got the Kicker on impulse and i like it. i also thought about selling either one and getting another of the same brand to have matching amps. I would hate to lose either amp since both were 300 or more and i know i couldn't sell them for the same price.
Both amps produce (specs) 1200wrms at 1 ohm.
i dont see a problem with using two difrent amps. especially if each set are in there own sealed enclosure.

that's what i figured. and not only will each set be its own enclosure but so will each sub. -Thanks for the input. Any other opinions? Anyone tried this before?
Ditto. No issues. You'll simply have to match levels, but you'd have to do that anyway using two fo the exact same amps. No biggie.
