8ohm. That jumper in the middle puts the coils in series. There is no way to make this single sub a 4ohm load to the amp unless you only connect one coil (which is NOT recommended). You can either run the coils parallel for a final load of 2ohms, or run the coils in series for an 8ohm final load to the amp. in theory you'll see about 200 watts running an 8hm mono load on that amp.

Ok thanks for the info. I'm guessing 8 ohm isn't the loudest way to run this sub do you have any opinions on how i should run it???...i have another jumper wire I could use too.

You can: A get a sub that is 4ohm and run it on your amp. B you can get an amp that is 2ohm stable and run the sub with the coils parallel. C you can run the sub at 8ohms into your amp and get about 200watts of power.
