Ok i was wondering if my sub witch is a dual 4 ohm will work with my amp witch will be 2 ohm stable bridged. i am planning on wiring it eather tonight or tomorrow but i really really dont what to get into it to much and then find out that al the stuff is disconnected and then the amp wount work with the sub. so if you could help rather soon that would be great!! thanx . later
sorry i meant to say that it is not 2 ohm stable, but i was wondering if i can run the right side of the channel to one voice coil and the left to another, or will that cause it to be out of phase. If it is could i just reverse the connections of positive to negative and negitive to positive on one voice coil
i need to know if this is possible ... some one please help!!
You can do that but make sure your amp has a mono switch. If it doesn't them get a y adapter and only hook either the left or right side to the inputs.
Is this amp just for your sub? If so I would look at trading it for a mono amp.

no im going to have a 6.5" components attached also.
Attached to the same channel as your sub????
no it is a 4 channel amp the comp set will be on the front channel and the sub on the rear. What do you mean by the y adapter that doesnt' make any sense and what does it matter if it has a mono switch
Y adapter is for the RCA's. I think he's saying grab a Y-adapter with 1 female end and 2 males (male = prong sticking out, female = hole)
However, I had a 2-channel 600 watt X-treme amp ($300 O.o) that I wired two house subs in parallel (4 ohms) to the right channel, and 2 6x9's (2 ohms) in the left., then from the deck I set it at an offset to the right so I got more bass than highs (because my deck's speaker outputs were fried). it got hot REALLY fast, and finally blew out the next day. I dont know how it will work on a 4-channel amp where the components are only wired to the front and the sub wired to the rear.
IF the amp manual says it can do that (meaning it will do it safely), then do it, otherwise, I'd say trade it for a mono amp, and run the components off the deck for now. Some 2-channel amps can run in some wierd way (cant remember what its called) where you run 2 regular car speakers on each channel, then run a sub bridged w/ a small capacitor so the sub only gets bass. My MA Audio could do it, but I figured I'd just leave it with the subs alone.
