[QUOTE="morespl, post: 7471493, member: 613774"] If the sub you have is dual 4 It will be 8 ohm series 2 ohm parallel If the sub is dual 2 It will be 4 ohm series 1 ohm parallel. Either way you run it your amp most likely will not see the ohm load that its wired to because impedance rise so I would run it in parallel regardless. When it comes down to the little bit of wattage that you think is over powering you can always turn the gain down below matched rca voltage. Just for shits and giggles put a test tone on at like 45 hertz and turn you radio to the max volume you turn it too. Then take a digital multimeter with a amp clamp and measure the voltage coming of the speaker terminals on the amp. Then amp clamp the speaker wire on the same test tone multiply these number and see the exact wattage the gorilla spl puts out. [/QUOTE]
