Need Some Advise On Audio

Thanks for the quick response.
This is my current setup and although I like it, its sub par and I just wanted to get the max amount of bass from a single 10" sub. 1600 RMS is almost triple what i'm running right now so thats fine, but how much would i be starving my new sub by running it at 2 ohms oppose to one?

You wouldn't be "starving" it at all. As bigaudiofanat said, you need to be comparing the RMS wattage. If you run that amp at 1 ohm all the time, you're gonna need a new sub in no time.

That amp is an idea match for that sub at 2 ohms meaning you're delivering it 1600 watts RMS where the sub is rated for 1500 watts RMS so you're getting all the potential out of it safely.

You can't run your new sub at 1 ohms, you have to wire the dual voice coils that a 1 ohms EACH to either 2 ohms or .5 ohms. And you do not want to run at .5 ohms with an amp that isn't going to be stable at that. Once again you aren't going to starve your sub at all. RMS is right on the money.
