[QUOTE="maylar, post: 46865, member: 541144"] I asked the Infinity Tech Support about using a Perfect 12.1 on only one VC and they said don't do it. Only reason given is "The unpowered coil will be dead weight". OK. But they didn't say it'd damage anything. The Kicker's I put in my kid's truck said it was OK, but cut the power rating in half. Been running that way for months with no ill effects. So I guess the jury's still out. Personally, I'd do it. The Perfect is rated 350 watts so with only 150 you'd be under half the rating. An alternative is to put the sub in parallel (2 ohms) and run the amp bridged anyway. Some amps (like Rockfords) will survive that OK. Some won't. Best solution is a 300 watt amp that's stable to 2 ohms. Your choice. [/QUOTE]
