Re: installing subwoofer

you could bridge your amp..depending on the amp.... what kinda amp do you have? by the sounds of it your box only has the one chamber (most single input dual speaker boxes do), so it wouldnt be effective to use a stereo set up anyways.

Re: installing subwoofer

you can bridge your amp.. i just looked it up. um, there should be a switch to get it to run in bridged mode and a schematic in your manual for hooking up the speakers, make sure that you use a nice thick wire so you get the most power outta that thing.. this will yeild the most output for your amp, if you have them wired up parallel in your box 2ohm load, watch your amp to see if it heats up. if it heats up, you might want to either lower the output or hook your speakers up in series.

Re: installing subwoofer

Make sure to use a HUGE ground wire and battery wire with an inline fuse!
