I have bought 4 of these subs. I want to hook 2 each. Up to one amplifier. What type of amp will I need for them?

Best way is to wire subs together and get a good 2 channel amp that can handle a 1 ohm load. If you call power acoustik they can help but you'll be wiring positive to positive and negative to negative making the subs run at 1 ohm. you're going to have to get one hell of an amplifier to pushall four of those subs. I had a BAMF4000/1D just to push one sub

you can run the two subs in series and have both subs get 400watts. Only if Your amp is 2 ohm stable.

I had a similar question. I even emailed Polk to ask them and never heard back. You will need an amplifier because the subwoofer is passive. It has its own crossover built in, but the receiver should only be sending high sounds to your other speakers and low sounds to your sub. I just attached both positive wires from the sub to the single positive wire coming from the amp (and the same for the negative wires). It seems to work great and I have had it in for at least a year.

I Bought a kicker 1000w amps for mine. Give it plenty of amps so that nothing blows. I hooked up both my subs to that and they work like a charm!

This is an all-in-1 setup. The amp is wired and set up to work with these speakers (or similar speakers in the same Ohms range). It's not built to pump out the low frequencies of a sub, nor does it have the power for it. You could use a spliter to run RCA cables to both this amp and a separate amp for a sub to "add" one to it. Or you could bridge and rewire and run one with very little power with this one, but you will eventually fry it.

Depends on the needs of the subs i am running 2 subs rated at 350 rms each and it works just fine, higher rms subs will use one each

Yes, you can hook up 2 subs connect them togeather , but one thing its better to have an extra battery for this amp to itself because if you hoook it up to ur car battery and whe u step on it it takes alot from ur battery to your amp and your car is going to die cause its too much watts fo that battery

Tony...sorry i missed ya ... im not online too often...That amp is 1 CHANNEL ONLY..USED FOR SUBWOOFERS...HIGH QUALITY...mINE IS HOOKED UP TO 2 KICKER SOLO BARIC 15"s I have illegal sound...

You will have to run them in series and wire them for 2 ohm because it wont push enuff watts for both subs at 4 ohms

This amp has plenty of power and will definately match these subs will if wired to 1 ohm load. Dual 4 ohm coils wired in parallel will yield 1 ohm.

It should work just fine the amp is 500 watts RMS at 2 ohms so you would need to wire the subs in series to get a 2 ohm load and maximize the Amps out put hope this was helpful thanks

This is a 1 channel amplifier so I'd look more towards a 4 or 5 channel depending on if you wanna hook a subwoofer with them to

You can just run your main amp wiring to the high level inputs and then run the needed wire from the sub to the front speakers. If your amp is a integrated preamp with mutable pre-outs you can run a RCA from the secondary pre-outs via a single RCA cable. This will give you a 2.1 setup with the sub playing only one channel of the possible two channels. Mono powered subs can run a single channel and it will not sound as though your missing out.

Seems like it from the image on google, you have 5 amplifier connectors for speaker wire and a preamp connector for the sub. You have lots of other choices so do your research, but we've been very pleased with these.

Depends how powerful the subs are. I got 4 6 1/2 speakers each speaker is 90 RMS and I got 2 10 inch subs hooked up they are 150 RMS each. Everything sounds great and clear. You might just need to mess with the gains a bit. I definatly would buy this amp if I were in your position, but you just need to make sure everything is wired up currectly. This amp is great for its price! Good luck man hope it all works out!

You can just buy two subs. That is perfectly fine for the wattage being brought out.

The speakers come with a book that shows you how to wire them for different ohm loads and I'm sure there are several diagrams avaible online as well but you shouldn't be hooking up subs to a four Chanel amp and not separate the voice coils out like that. I have 4ohm voice could and I believe there are more wireing options with the 4 ohm. I have 4 p2 connected to a one channel amp running at 2 ohms
