[QUOTE="id4rox, post: 248550, member: 548648"] So I took out the kicker and pio amp, made a much bigger system, 2 RF HE2's (400rms each, 200 per coil) and a RF 750s amp (750 bridged mono, 375x2 @ 2ohm). i currently am running the amp bridged, on each sub i joined one pos and one neg (closing that coil my logic says?), then joined the other 2 pos and negs to their appropriate terminal on the amp. now my logic is saying i just turned off one voice coil and now im only getting 200rms per sub instead of the full 400. Is this true? If I want the full power do I need to wire each sub to a 2 ohm load, each on it's own channel? Is the wiring i have now the best for the setup, or is it best to rewire them for a 2 ohm load, one sub per channel? I would like to get my full capability out of the subs instead of half, being as I just spent alot of money on this new system!! thanks brian [/QUOTE]
