[QUOTE="Shijima, post: 3757069, member: 584822"] Hey all Im fairly new to Car audio, and after a little research thought I was ready to dive head first into a project. Wrong. The setup was to run my speakers off channels 1+2(front) 3+4(rear) and channel 5+6 would be bridged to run the sub. Anyways heres the situation, the a6450 from jl said it puts 150W x1bridged channel into a 4 ohm load. Now I was thinking that one Jl 10w3v2 4 ohm DVC subwoofer, would match up pretty well, since 150W is far below the continuous RMS rating of the sub, but above the minimum RMS. I finally got both the units and after reading the instructions I find that when you wire one W3v2 in series, it puts the ohm load up to 8 and I can only get 90W from the amp to an 8ohm load, which is just barely within the minimum RMS for the sub. But If I wire it in parallel It lowers the ohm load to 2 ohms, which the amplifier says it should not run an ohm load less than 4 when bridging channels. How can I wire it so theres 4 ohms going into the subwoofer? [/QUOTE]
