Re: how to tell

THIS amp would suit your subs better. a 2-ohm stable mono rated at 300wrms @ 4-ohms, 500wrms @ 2-ohms.

also, don't shop crutchfield, imho, they are overpriced.

Re: how to tell

ok, when you hook 2 subs up, do u put the positives and negitives together like bridging, ive never actually used a one channel amp. That would be fine at 8 ohms them, or can I wire them as a parallel setup? I noticed crutchfield was a little high, kinda like best buy, i am going to look around at the audio shops around here and see what they have. Thanks dude.

Re: how to tell

wire them parallel. if you wire them in series, the amp will see an 8-ohm load. you don't want that, you need it to see a 2-ohm load.

amp + > sub 1 + > sub 2 +
amp - > sub 1 - > sub 2 -

Re: how to tell

I have herd that there is a certain property of subs to hooke them up parallel, do you know of that, it was something about monoor single and dual something, i cant remember right at the moment, im not haveing a realy good day so far. Otherwise they need to be set up in a parallel hook up?

Re: how to tell

a regular speaker only has a + and - terminal, a dual voice coil has 2 of each - so it can be wired to give 1/2 or 2x the impedance of just one of the coils seperately.

you are not going to get a 4 ohm load out of 2 4-ohm SVC drivers. 2 DVC drivers can, but 2 SVC drivers will show only 2 or 8-ohms, depending on wiring.
