Im lookin to buy a Hiffonics XX Colossus II Class D 3200 competition mono block amp and i wana hook 2 subs up to it posibly the kicker solobaric S15l7, and im wondering if hookin the 2 subs up to this amp that it will split the wattage between the 2 subs or will it be the same wattage (3200 watts) to each sub. if someone could give me some info on a amp thats better for subs like that or if this amp is good for these subs and tell me about the wattage that would be great thanks!

get (2) 2ohm l7 and you can get 1600 watts to each sub 2ohms bridged. That amp is to big you will blow those subs

If the Kickers are dual 4 ohm and you hooked each sub into its own channel on the Hifonics amp, then by looking at the ratings, it would give you 1100 watts on each sub which would probably be a good setup. The 3200 watts would be from a bridged power rating at 2 ohms. I'm not sure on what ohm sub you would need though

What amp would you recomend to run those subs at optimum performance

those subs are wrong for your amp the amp is rated at 1x3200 rms at 2ohm or 2x1600 rms at 1ohm so you need to find a sub or 2 subs that fit those numbers

^^^ i don't know about that. I could be wrong but if he buys the dual 4 ohm subs, he can hook it up to get 1100watts a sub.

YOUR SOMEWHAT RIGHT BUT HE NEEDS 2X4OHM SUBS AND HE HAS TO WIRE THEM IN PARALELL NOT SERIES IF THE AMP IS A TWO CHANNEL WICH I'M SURE IT IS DON'T BRIDGE IT WIRING IN SERIES MAKES IT 8OHMS YOU DON'T WANT THAT

if you want to run your subs on ONE channel, you need dual 2 subs. A pair of dual 2 ohm subs would put you at a final load of either .5 ohm, or 2 ohm. You wont ever get true 2 ohm load power as there are so many factors that go into impedance rise, but that is how you can set it up for running just one channel.

If you want to run separate channels, you will need 2 dual 2's as well. One for each channel. Running one to each channel will give you a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load at each channel.

here is a breakdown
one dual 2 ohm= 1ohm, 4 ohm
one single 4 ohm = 4ohm
one dual 4 ohm = par. 2ohm ser. 8 ohm
two single 4 ohm= 2 ohm or 8 ohm
two dual 4 ohm= 1 ohm, 4 ohm, 16 ohm
