[QUOTE="Vermithrax, post: 6186630, member: 580386"] Your sub has a pair of 4 ohm voice coils. You can use a 2 channel amp and wire each coil to one channel. That's not the best method. To use a mono amp, you have to either wire the pair of coils on the subwoofer together (parallel bridging) for a 2 ohm load or in a series for an 8 ohm load. Therefore, you either need a mono amp that is stable at 2ohms and puts out somewhere near the sub's RMS power handling or a mono amp that puts out somewhere near twice the sub's RMS power handling at 4 ohms (the 8 ohm series load will cause the amp to put out about 1/2 of the 4 ohm rating).
