[QUOTE="Jh8909, post: 6564897, member: 612576"] Because that amp puts out 400 at 4ohms and 700 at a 2 ohm total load. so if you wire your 4 ohm sub in series you would get an 8 ohm total load and if you wired it in parallel you would get a 2 ohm total load. you would then be overpowering the sub by 300 watts rms. so you should get a 2 ohm sub that way you can wire it up to a 4 ohm total load by wiring it in series. and that way your sub that can take 400 watts will be getting 400 watts.
