I was trying to do this today, but I'm pretty sure I did something wrong: On a more serious note for those doing this procedure, be sure to exercise due care when drilling out lug holes.

I've had a family member offer to give me two identical Cliff Designs amplifiers from one of his old setups when I mentioned that I plan to get a Q12 setup going. I had previously been looking at a Hifonics HFi1500D. He is rather insistent. As I don't want to offend him, I'm wondering how practical it is to use one amplifier per voice coil. I could get 1000W out of it the pair theoretically (500W x 2 amps @ 2 ohms) by doing that instead of only 700W (700W x 1 amp @ 1 ohm) that the gear can provide otherwise. I know not if the amplifiers themselves can be strapped, so it would have to be this route if I wish to use them both. I have an oscilloscope that I could use for getting the outputs matched up as close as possible. I'm wondering what the consequences are in terms of physical abuse to the transducer as well as sound quality implications because of potential small phase variances and whatnot. Is it entirely unrealistic? I know it's done in competitions, but there they don't give a hoot about sound quality and device longevity is not a primary concern.
