yea its possible i was going to get those subs before for my JL audio 500.1 Amplifier but instead i got (2)12" Alpine Type R's and dat sh1t pounds but you might need to get a Multi-Channel Amplifier to power your Component Speakers otherwise all u gonna hear is Bass. |

Wait just looked back and im talking about the zapco reference 500.1 i want to put it to my 2 12w6v2's but im not sure if its one ohm stable or it would be worth it because of the loss of power on the small amp. |

Hey Joe, why did you mention 1 ohms? Your 2 subs will equal to 2 ohms if they're 4ohms DVC to start with. |

I know, my friend said that if i got a third I could wire them so that they will be at 1 ohm is this true? |

Also i would wire them together since its a mono amp and be in 1 or 4... and i think that if i had 3 together in 2.5 ohms or a little less than one and wouldnt i be able to run the voice coils in parallel/parallel down at 1ohm? |

Opps I made a boo boo, if you have 2 4ohm DVC subs, it'll give you 1ohm in parallel mode. Sorry about the mistake. If you get a 3rd sub, it'll give you less than 1 ohms, not a good idea. |
