[QUOTE="boober909, post: 7699497, member: 640754"] Hello, i was looking for a little help installing some subs in my boat, I have purchased two Clarion 8' 4 ohm single coil marine subs power rated 100-200wrms each, and a cadence 400 watt 2 channel marine amp: RMS Power Output: ◦4 Ohm : 60W x 2 channels ◦2 Ohm : 100W x 2 channels ◦4 Ohm Bridged : 200W x 1 channel •PEAK Power: ◦4 Ohm Bridged : 400W x 1 channel I am kind of confused on how to wire these subs, should i run each on it's own channel to have them both at 4 ohms, or do i run them parallel at 2 ohm load or in series at 8 ohm load? or is this not the correct type of amp to be running these subs on. I put the subs on each side of the boat so running them in series will require more wiring since they are about 10 feet of wire apart, but can be done. thanks for your input Cam [/QUOTE]
