ooo, cool. i think it hits the harder bass notes much better, gives the subs extra power to play with

VP4:
450 RMS x 1 at 4 ohms
750 RMS x 1 at 2 ohms
1200RMS x 1 at 1 ohm
So obviously you could use two 2 ohm subs and wire them in paralell to get 1200 RMS from the amp, or get 2 4 ohm subs and drop that to 2 ohm 
A power cap definatly gives this amplifier a hand. Mine sounded wank with a standard battery and alternator, so then i got a Optima Yellow top, a diesel alternator and a VIBE power cap and boom, sounds wicked now.
