Make sure u have the right amps first i was told the more subs u can run off a single mono block the harder they will go

If the Alpine amps are strappable and a load of 1.33 over both amps isn't loaded down too far then, yes.

yeh, as above, i reckon 2 sbu or 4, 3 would b way too complicated for me to figure out loud vh whats strappable? maybe thats the key to doing this vl repo yeh they will go harder if u hook them up parralel, itll double the throughput running 2 subs instead of 1, its very easy to cook an amp that way, but 2 subs should b safe, as long as theyre 4ohm subs

Yeah go a third amp man...... or..... Use 1 amp... wire two of the subs in parallel as in neg to pos, pos to neg... o show an 8ohm load, and then wire the second 4 ohm on its own ... This will show 1 amp a 4 ohm load - but be pushing 3 subs.

Leave it that way - sell the Momoblock and buy a 4 channel for you to amp your speakers than - that'd be the way to go.

u could run them in paralell off one amp if it is 1 ohm stable, i would sell the two amps and buy one monster amp that is 1 ohm stable
