When you wire two identical subs in parallel to an amp will the output be even among the two speakers or could one of them draw more power?

As long as the impedance of each sub is identical then they will have the same amount of power going to them.  There might be some very slight differences due to manufacturing tolerances that could effect the distribution a tiny amount, but for the most part it should be identical.

Thanks, I was just making sure so I don't run too much power to my subs.
