use 2 subs. A 4 ohm DVC single speaker can only do 8 or 2 ohms, and do not run only one coil, ever.........

well i have 2 subs but i dont have enough room in 93 reg cab truck so was just going to put in 1.so the best i can do is 2 ohm with 1 sub?ok thanks

Correct, one sub is net 2 ohms. Not bad either, if the amp can deliver a solid 300 watts RMS @ 2 ohms.

if im not mistaken it puts out like 1200 rms.i think.i got it from a riend of mine the other day.he had it hooked to a mtx rfl 15.well one amp per sub.but hes going with a new setup so i bought it off of him. i looked at the matrxx website but the amp i have isnt on there so it must be and older model.thanks yall

well i put both of them in and it sounds great.hurts my chest when its up.thanks for the help

You can estimate the approximate power this amp puts out by adding up the fuses in it.
Example: 40a x 3 = 120 Amperes max current draw
120 x 14.4 volts = 1728 watts Peak (~1200 watts RMS)
FYI: The 15" Comp VR's can handle 500 watts RMS per sub. So, a pair of them should be thumping pretty good at 1200 watts input.
