I would just get one 4000.1 for both or a 2000.1 per sub.

i would go with one 4000 personally

you'll match the RMS of the subs so it'll be safe - 2000 to each

and i've heard two btl's off one RF 4000. and damn.. i think you'll be plenty happy with one RF4000 and so will your pocket

You can always limit the power an amplifier puts out. I could put a 10,000 watt amp on a 5 watt tweeter and play it for 100 years and never blow it. Just because he has a 4000 watt amp on the sub doesn't mean he's using all 4000 watts. Chances are he's wasting half of the amp's capabilities.

that sums it up.That would be a waste of money and watts.But it would look cool as heck though!LOL!

The RF4000.1 is a beast along with a huge foot print, 1 will be more than enough for 2 18" BTLs.

Steve Meade does the same thing i do and a lot of others when running big power.

He only runs it at that high power level for a few seconds. You don't want the subs heating up so people like me get massive power put on subs so for competition, it's well worth it. Can't really use the power wisely for daily driving.

If money was an issue, you could always run 2 AQ3500ds. That's just under $1400 for 7,000w.

You can easily run that amp per BTL, it's just not wise to run it at max power to achieve such power out of the amp for daily use and for your hearing.
