sounds like some serious sound lol, i hope these 2 10" type r subs can sound as good as my 2 12's! is it possible to run these subs at 1ohm load? because my amp is 1ohm capable. or should I get 2 an run them at 2ohms. if they can run at 1ohm I will order the 2 that are capable of it an wire them down to it, if not I'll get the other 2.

thanks bro an i wasnt sure if the subs can handle being played a 1 ohm. I have my current subs wired at 1 ohm in parallel. does it matter what size wire i use connecting the subs together inside the box? I have 14 gauge speaker wire at the house, should I use something thicker or does it really not matter what size wire I use? thanks

I'm pretty sure I have 8 gauge from the first time I hooked up my power wires an all that hooked up on my subs. I know it isnt regular 14 gauge wire

Read through http://bcae1.com/ tab #16. Will teach you everything you want to know about power and speaker wires, and has all the calculators you'll need to pick out correct speaker and power AWG.
