i have 2 power acoustik Fubr-12's and i have 2 1800 watt amps that are each 2 ohm stero stable. if i bridge each amp and have each one power a sub will that work. the subs have a dual 2 ohm voice coil and have 900 watt RMS. will the amps run at 2 ohms, if not then what will they run at?

You can wire each sub for 4ohms then bridge each amp IF they are bridgeable. Or you can hook up each sub to its own amp and attach each coil on the sub to each channel of the amp and same for the other amp and sub. Doing this option will give you a 2ohm stereo load. If you want to do the bridging option heres a wiring diagram. I would do the bridging option if the amps are brigdeable. Good Luck

yup. best bet is to bridge each amp, wire the sub coils in series and put one sub on each amp
