I am building a small system for a 2005 350Z and have a few questions.

I have 2 JBL 300w/600watt@2ohms amp and plan to purchase a Digital Design 8" Subwoofer with DVCs.

Is it a good idea to run each voice coil off of a dedicated amp?

Since the vehicle is stock and has no power accessories(power seats etc.), would it be safe to get a 2ohm DVC and run 1200watts on the OEM alterator?

Thank you

it is possiable to run two amps on that sub however it is not something I would recomend to any novice? not saying that you are. It is a lot simpler to run one amp then to have to deal with power issues as well as grounds and having to gain match the amps for the sub. I would just get one dual 4ohm sub for one amp and a second for the second amp. you should be able to get a cleaner sound from two subs with two amps then the two amps on one sub if you are going for clarity. you should be able to run that on stock electrical. if your lights start to dim there are several things to look into such as a cap or a second battery. I hope that this helps you?
