i wired both of my subs to a 2ohm load, but now they soud a little different then before, and they dont push out as far as they used to. since i wired them to a 2 ohm load does that mean they are each 1 ohm or are the both 2? |

To answer your Question about if ohms matters, yes it matters a whole lot because what ever ohms load you have your Subs wired for is the load your amp is gonna see an put out its rated power for that impedance, also you dont wanna put an ohms load that the amp isnt capable of handling

Logan... Also, if your Subs are 2ohms DVC an you wire them the way Optidriven Is showing you to, then you would have a 0.5 ohms load not a 1 ohm load |

if your trying to wire two 2ohms DVC subs together then your options are 2 ohms, 0.5 ohms or 8 ohms ..... |

also i was thinking about getting 2 audiobahn A8000t's. If i was to hook two of them up in my trunk could i like split the power cable into and run both amps off that one cable, And could i do the same with the ground? |

with the 1500d at 2 ohms each sub would get about 400w (it's a little over-rated)
a pair of 8000t's would work well for two dual 2's, but you'd need 2 ga or 1/0 ga power/ground wire split to a 4 ga (8 if it's short) for each amp.
