New member Username: PiosharkPost Number: 4 Registered: Jul-06 | I have a 2-channel amp when bridged at 4 ohms is 300x1 RMS. 2 ohms its rated at 150x2 RMS. Am I better off buying a 4 ohm SVC sub rated at 300 RMS? If I buy a 4 ohm DVC sub, can it be wired to a bridged 4 ohm channel, or does a 4 ohm DVC HAVE TO be wired to create a 2 ohm load?? Thanks. |

I hear mixed things).. what sub would u recommend for a 12" to go into a truck? |

One other wiring question..if I was using the amp above and hooking up one DVC sub, there would be no way to get the 300wrms to the sub, because it has to be 2 ohm stable and the amp puts out 150x2 at 2 ohms (i.e. is the 150x2 for both voice coils in one, or two seperate subs?) |
