I recently purchased two DX10 4-ohm subs. I am in the process of building a well braced sealed enclosure housing both 10's with a divider between the two from 3/4" mdf to go in the rear of my '96 Blazer. Should I buy an amp that pushes 600 watts rms at 2 ohms and wire the subs in parallel, or buy two 300 watts rms at 4 ohms amps to push each sub separately?Or are my power ratings even correct at all? I have read some places that in order to wire these in parallel, the amp must be stable to 1 ohm and other places that say it only needs to be stable down to 2 ohms. Please clarify these issues for me and any productive input would be greatly appreciated.
