k well I have a pioneer gm-x554 amplifyer for really inexpensive and I want to use it for powering one 10" sub or 12". The sub has not been purchased yet but the amp can be bridged to 2 channel at 4 olms at around 120rms per channel. im wondering if I get a dvc sub and i wire each channel to each coil, that would work?

Ive been searching and searching and im not seeing anything. also, what will the sub/amp be running, 2 olm 4olm or 8olm?

also, what would be a good brand for that kind of power? im interested in both, sound quality and loudness.

Thanks very very much for any help possible.

I dont know the answer to your wiring question, but i think the amp will be running at 2ohms, if so check out a kicker comp. Good SPL, so-so SQ

Yeah, you could wire it like that, just make sure the sub you get is dual 4 ohm, not 2 ohm, otherwise you'll ruin your amp.

can't help ya much in deciding on a sub though, I dont know a thing about subs in that power range.

lol, yea thanks! so everything will be running @ 4ohms? and I should be getting a dvc that can handle 240ish rms, maybe a little more? im prob lookin for a mdx or a kicker or RF ... a bigger brand.

a kicker comp, rockford fosgate punch z, and mtx 4000 those should be good if you get them in 12's or 10's

Phoenix Gold Ti-10" available for under $90 shipped on ebay.

Make sure you get the Ti-10D it is dual 4 ohm.

500W RMS power handling, good spl, good sq, cheap price.

my friend has 2 of the 12's and they sound really nice.

Or even check out two Tang Band 8" svc 4 ohm

Four channels bridged to 2, one on each channel.
