Ehhhh okay... You want to run your punch amp at 2ohm mono. You have to Kicker Impulse 4ohm or 8ohm? If you have 4ohms then your outa luck. Closes you can get is to series "8ohm" and bridge to 4ohms. Or Parellel for a 1ohm "not good imo" If you have 8ohm subs then just Parellel them and bridge it.

Umm ok if you have 2-8ohm woofers mono/parallel then you have a 4ohm mono load then...connecting this 4 ohm load to your RF will make the amplifier "see" a 2ohm load ..so as far as i understand bout RF amps ..your right on the money you are currently getting as much power safly from that amp as you can with out having problems ...hope this helps..and if i am wrong someone please correct me .....lol..aka HccaIntegra

I would connect a pair of 4 ohm, run the snot out of the amp (it can do it) and enjoy the extra power, but a pair of 8 ohm is the nice 'safe' way to do it.

And that's the bottom line, cuz:
