Default Amp

Hey there guys. right now i have a 2 channel amp running 2 subs. i sold my 2 subs and am going to go with 1 sub. can i still use this amp and will it put out twice as much power now to just one sub. by the way i have the california profile AP1200

Here is the link to the amp i have: http://www.crutchfield.com/p_489AP12...00.html?tp=115

here is the link to the sub i am ordering: http://cgi.ebay.com/KICKER-CVX10-CAR...3A1%7C294%3A50

Will this all match up good?

No, you want a DVC 2ohm sub, not a DVC 4ohm sub.

Nope, that sub is a 4 ohm DUAL voice coil, if your going with a single sub, you need a 4 ohm SINGLE voice coil or a 2 ohm dual voice coil sub. That way you can bridge your amp to it's required 4 ohm load.

If you have a 2 Ohm dual voice coil sub you can run it down into 4 Ohms.

So you will be using the most of your amp. Or just get a single 4 Ohm voice coil sub.
