Can I do this?

[Qbenjamin 10+ year member]

I have a 4ohm DVC sub, I wanted to know if I could hook up my Kicker KX600.4 to each of the coils. The amp does 300 X 2 @ 4ohms. So can I hook up each coil to 1 channel bridged on the amp?

sounds like it would work but dont quote me on it... invest in a MM and check the final ohm load and total watt output after u wire it up. then u will know for sure but if u have a sub setting on ur deck then turn it all the way to 0 before u test it and set ur gain low to start then turn it up gradually checkin both ohms and watts after each time u inc the gain on ur amp

I am almost afraid to try unless someone gives me a definite yes. I don't wanna have to kick myself in the ***, if I blow the amp trying.

Assuming each coil is 4ohms.....Yes, you can bridge the amplifier and run one coil per bridged channel. So wire one coil to the bridged channels 1&2, and the other coil to the bridged channels 3&4

For best performance be sure to feed identical signals to all channels and use a DMM to set the gains as close to identically as possible.

possible, and if you do it right it should be fine, but i wouldnt want to do it. better off using it for some components and stuff and then getting a 600.1 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

I have a KX600.1 also, but it's not stable a 1 ohm, and it's worthless @ 4 ohms.
