Series......

I would put them in series, or put one 500 w channel to each.

Had two 600watt voice coils in parallel, fed by 1x 1000 w amp - fine until one coil died, immediately vaporizing the other....been there, T-shirt aquired.

It will be cheaper to buy another 500/1 than it will to buy a 1000/1. (I think.)

Why would you care about the Blose speakers, particulary in relation to a MONO SUB AMP? More importantly, the JL1000/1 allows for two subwoofer output.

I think what he meant was if your going to amp some speakers... get aftermarket speakers... and you will obviously have to get a seperate amp for those speakers.

you can't be cheap with your speakers after you buy a 700 dollar amp to push both of your 300 dollar subs.

Eliminate the Bose system, save for the headunit (for now). A 50 - 75w rms x 4 amp is all you are going to need to keep up to the sub system that you have. A 6.75" component set for the front and either a coax of the same size or a 6x9" for the rear is all that is required here.
