wiring configuration is the difference. Performance is the same. However, in amps is not the same, cuz at lower impedances, efficiency decreases. Run a Dual 1 ohm and a kicker zx 1000.1 IMO. |

Keep in mind though that you MUST wire the coils in SERIES to get a 2ohm load because that kicker amps is 2ohm stable. So you'll need to get the dual 1ohm VC. If you get another amp (i.e.: kicker sx series), which is 1 ohm stable, you can get the dual 2ohm VC and wire them in PARALLEL down to 1ohm. |
