I have 2 zpa 0.5's and I am looking for a sub woofer configuration I would like to use 1 sub so I can save some space in my trunk and I was wondering if I can wire 2 amps to one sub either one amp to each voice coil or run the amps series to a series dvc. I was thinking a mtx 9500 dvc 15" as they are rated for 2000k that would max out the subs and amps any help or info would be great sub suggestions for maximum spl using one sub would be awsome I have been told that it will work if the amps are strapable but I dont know what that means or if the 0.5's are strapable......thanks in advance

you definitely CAN run both amps to one sub, but you must be careful.
first, you will want to use a DMM to make sure the gains are as close to identical as you can get.
second you will probably want to get some sort of crossover/processor that can be used inline Before the amps, and then use a splitter out of that device to make sure the amps are getting the same signal/same input voltage

btw, the ZPA's are not strapable.
the only PG amp i know of that is is the Ti800.1

Get a dual voicecoil 4 ohm woofer. Gain match the amps using a multimeter, and run one amp bridged to each coil. Soblem prolved.
