it will be hard to match two subs running off of different amps.

Agreed! If you get another ZX600Ti then 1 to each sub or both subs running off the solo MS2125.

i know its not the ideal choise...and the ms is only untill i get hold of another 600......but not many for sale in denmark

running both subs on the ms is not an option i wanna choose.....then it would go in 1ohm.....(dual 4ohms subs)

Why not just find a nice mono amp that can handle a single ohm? Instead of running multiple amps. I have an rsd1200.1 pushing 4 ti10d4's at 1ohm.
Alot of people don't seem to like the looks of these (I do), I have gone up and down the hi way several times now on an 8 hr road trip and worked the subs hard. The amp did not shut down once.
Even the ti800.1 handled two dvc's efertlessly.

cool I have been wondering how my RSD 1200.1 would run on my 3 rsdc 10s at 1 ohm. I am going to have a fan on it but sounds like its a forcast of as much bass as I want.

Would it be cheaper on import taxes to send you the amp in two pieces listed as parts or would shipping kill that though?

Lol. My wife bought an antique sink from like Florida or something awhile ago. It was like 225 pounds. The sink was $250, but shipping was $900 when I picked it up. So I learned my lesson the hard way.

Hey guys. I have a question. I'm designing my box on paper here. I will be using four ti10d4's. From what I can figure these are 100% at 1.25cu ft ported. Because of the limited space in my truck I can squeeze a total of 5 cu ft of volume but I cannot build individual chambers. My question is do I still calculate volume based on individual specs per driver. Or is it less because the subs will be using common space.
This is the first time I've built an enclosure like this so I just want to get your opinions.
Thanks
