Anonymous | GlassWolf, since my sub says "2 or 8 Ohm Operation", does that mean my amplifier must be set to run at 2 or 8 ohms? But since I have two subs doesn't that make more or less ohms? |

Anonymous | What exactly is a mono amp? I have this... 2-Channel 2000 Watt Amp * 2000 Watts Max Power * Bridged RMS @4 Ohm: 1000 W. * Bridgeable at 4 Ohms Only * Top Mount Controls * Polished Chrome & Plexiglass * Remote Control Bass Booster * Adjustable Crossover Network * Soft Turn On/Off Circuit * 2 Ohm Stereo Stable * Bridgeable into 4 Ohms * Mosfet PWM Power Supplies * Variable Gain Control * Remote Turn On/Off * Hi/Lo Level Inputs * Power On LED Indicator * LED Protection Indicator * S/N Ratio: >90dB * THD: <0.4% * Freq.Resp.: 10Hz-30k Hz * Thermal, Overload Protection * Short Circuit Protection * Measures 11" X 2" X 16.2" How many ohms would that need to run at with my subs? The same or different? |

Gold Member Username: GlasswolfWisteria, Lane USA Post Number: 8854 Registered: Dec-03 | mono means 1 channel yours is 2 channel you'll wire your coils in parallel for each sub, and put one sub on each channel of your amplifier that'll give you full power to each sub |
