Audio ?
I'll cut right to the chase
 I have one sub (RF HX2) with dual 2ohm voice coils. My sub amp isn't one ohm stable. So I know I can't run the coils parallel. My question is; can I run the two coils in series? That would still be a 2ohm load, right? I'm used to JL W6's. Those are a walk in the park to wire up compared to this .TIA...

 if i understood that right... run 1/2 of the sub to 1/2 the amp and... run other 1/2 to the other 1/2 better yet, what amp is it? if you can tell me, i can ask MacGyver how he would hook it up. ami

NOPE!
if u run it in series it does the opposite, it will be a 4ohm load. click here 4 a good example

Let's see... The amp I'm using is a Rockford Fosgate "Power" 500a2. I bought it from a buddy of mine, so I'm not 100% sure of the specs. I'm going off 2nd hand info that it's not 1 Ohm stable. If I'm wrong & it is - COOL! On the other hand, if what I'm hearing (from other people) is true, the amp only puts out 250x2 @ 2ohms.
I understand what you're saying Ami (or, at least I think I do ). I should hook up on coil to each channel. Can I do that?? I was just assuming that since each channel is a different "side" (ie. right & left) that the sub would sound like doodoo wired up like that. I've never tried it, so I really don't know. Let me know what MacGyver thinks!Ok, one more... If I run it in series, and that makes it a 4 Ohm load, I should then be able to bridge the amp. Well....duh....with only one pair of wires I suppose I'd have to....

first off..i have to mention..you crack me up. you e-mail me these crazy hybrid questions about compression and what not. something i could never answer :huh: and then post the questions i have answers to on the board
okay, i got an answer for ya: if you have dual 2ohm woofer... series woofer then bridge to amp if you have dual 4ohm woofer... half woofer to 1 chanel other half to other chanel of amp.

ok a power 500 is a mono amp so you cant run a coil off of each channel its only one channel. second you can run at 1ohm all day long with a power 500, wait when you say power 500 is it the new ones that are grey or the old style, the new ones will run 1ohm all day, i run a power 1000 on each of my power hx2 and they both run a 1ohm non stop so it should be fine at 1ohm.
