what amps for 1 jl 13.5 w7

hey i am goin to buy one jl audio 13.5 w7. right now the 2 amps i have to power it is 1 mmats 1400.05 and a jbl GTO1201.1. now i was told if run this sub to 2 different amps it will blow the voicecoils. i was told i should run 2 1400.1 mmats amps and i would be safe. i was wondering is threre any thruth in this and if i do need 2 of the same amps would runnin 2 1400.05 mmats amps instead of the 1400.1 blow the sub too.

ummmm you only need to run the mmats. wire the sub in parallel and you'll be good to go.

it's hard enough to balance out 2 exactly the same amps on one speaker (unless they have a special mode on them), I am not sure I would try it with 2 dissimiliar amps.
