Sub / Amp Question

Okay I'm planning on installing 2 12" infinity Kappy Perfect's DVQ's and running them off of an Infinity Digital Beta 300 is there any benifit of running a second beta 300 amp or would I just be wasting my money?



Cliff Notes: Is it better to run 1 sub / amp or can I run 2 subs off of 1 amp and still maintain the same quality.

You should have no problem running the subs in parallel off this amp. You don't need another amp.

BTW, nice pairing of amp and subs.

demicon said what i think...
just so long as the load of the two speakers come out as a 4 ohm load to the amp thatll mean 500watts per sub, thats right about where i would push them.
