[QUOTE="IFeelYourPain, post: 7470200, member: 634883"] Sorry' date=' don't mean to be a bother. Total noob when it comes to two vcs. I been wiring subs to all my cars all my life, but this new technology kills me. The sub is four ohms, which the sub would be fine, and the amp would be at 2, but the problem with that is... the 2 ohms from the amp is 1300 watts! I know Type Xs take a beating, but pushing it 30% more would just throw away the $600 I spent on this heavy bad boy. The sub is 4 ohms, but if I bridge it to 2, then make it run parallel, then the sub would be at 4 ohms the amp at 2, which would mean 1300w rms and the sub is 1000w rms max. If I just turn the gain down, that lowers the rms? The amp has a db adjuster too though, would I need to mess with it to lower the rms? Built in bridge... technology has advanced. I still have an amp that is like 20 years old that still had those olllllld connections lol. That's pretty handy though I guess. I'm not much for instructions, but the instructions showed them bridging the ++ and --. So I tried that about an hour ago and now it seems like its getting more power since the lights on my miata dim like they did with the crunch amp. Only at 8ohms instead of the 4 or 2, I would imagine its putting out half that it would at 4, so like 450 rms.
