my question is if I wire this sub in parallel which would give me 2-ohms and I wire it to 1 channel would I get 300w

Alright if I wire this Dual 4-ohm sub in parallel (which would give me 2ohms) and then I run the + and - wire to 1 of the channels would I get 300w in stereo:

RMS Power 2-Ohm Stereo: 2 x 300

since I am not run 2 subs would I only get 300w

I never got a response!! but which wiring configuration would give me the most power from this amp with a single Dual 4-ohm sub

would it be parallel and then wire the sub to just 1 channel giving me 300w in stereo (300 x 2 at 2ohms)

I was thinking also could I wire each voice coil to it's own channel on the amp and then would it be like :

RMS Power 2-Ohm Stereo: 2 x 300

i'd get a mono signal first (take your rca's and solder the wires together, just make sure you get the right ones. use the continuity tester on your dmm). then wire each channel to a vc and let me know if it worked because that's just a theory and I take no responsibility for a f-ed up amp, sub etc.

if you wire it to each voice coil then it would be two 4 ohm loads, meaning 200x2. i myself personally wouldn't wire it that way

alright I am going to try it but I am going to be careful I am going to run each voice coil separate and run a mono signal I will let you know what happens

Guess what..... it worked when I wired each Voicecoil to it's own channel on amp so I have the sub getting 400rms (4-ohm stereo: 2 x 200 )
