[QUOTE="Rodek, post: 8706328, member: 552970"] Your amp's 5th or sub woofer channel will produce 300 watts at 4 ohms rms. If you were to hook up a single 4 ohm woofer to your amp, it will provide 300 watts rms (rms = continuous watts) to the woofer. That amp's 5th channel is 2 ohm stable. At 2 ohms, it will produce 500 watts rms (continous). In your case since you want to add a second woofer, I would choose (2) 4 ohm woofers. By doing so, you will present the amplifier with a 2 ohm load by adding a second 4 ohm woofer to the amp. Hook both of these woofers up to the amp's woofer channel. Here's an example from the12volt.com. [ATTACH type="full" alt="21918"]21918[/ATTACH] When selecting your woofers try to match the woofer's power handling to your amplifier's power output. 2 12 inch woofers that handle 250 watts each will work fine. Be sure you have enough room for a proper size enclosure or enclosures for your woofers. If the box is incorrect, you won't realize the full potential of your woofers. [/QUOTE]
