Default Hooking up 2 more Subs..ok?

Right now I have 2 12'' Kenwood KFC-W3005 Subs hooked up to a 1000 watt Sony amp..I was wondering if I could hook up 2 more subs to my 1000-watt amp? If so any suggestions on what ones?

If you don't know what ohms are you probably shouldn't be doing this yourself. Do an internet search on how to wire subwoofers and see if that helps. You might also get some books from MECP, the national certification body for automotive electronics installers.

It depends on the ohm rating of your subs.
If your amp is already running at full capacity you won't gain anything from adding 2 more subs and halving the power.
