It doesnt matter if you have 2 or 200 subs in your car, the amp is what drawls power not the speakers. And all the amp cares about is the load put on it not how many speakers its connected to.

The subs are 620w a piece, and theyre bridged to the 1000w amp, i guess it doesnt matter.... but whats a reccomended amperage for the Altenator for systems? I believe mine is 97A but I could be wrong
