    I have two p3sd412s and I'm running them at 4ohms and combined they're running off 750 watts. They arn't hitting very hard at all. Am I safe running them at 2ohms with 1500 watts? The amp is a hofonics hifi 3000.1

    Agreed, I would assume what ever the max output/input on the equipment it would be safe.

    Yeah I just realized you can't run that on 2ohms. I don't know too much about car audio. I may try a new amp. To me the subs just don't sound like they should. You would think to 12 shallows would at least sound better than one kicker 10 that's not

    What size enclosure do you have them in? Ported/ sealed? If that's the hifonics 3000.1 it looks like its stable down to 1ohm. But it should drive those 12s at 4ohms with no need to drop it down.
