Buy a couple ohms and you should be good.. they go for

ok so my manual says "capable of operating at a minimum impedance of 4 ohms when in bridged operation" So should I wire it at 8 ohms? Thank you for your help.

Nah cuz. first off jus cause 4 is a bigger number den 2 dont mean it will put out more power. infact if you wire it at 2 you will get more power then at 4. with the amp you got,( in my oppinion) your jus teezing it. i ran 800w on my last one and it cherry:thumbupw: anyway so your specs on your amp is somthing like 520w @ 4ohms and 575 @ 2ohms and 550 bridged correct? so no need sell your sub you got. (correct me if im wrong guys) but you can wire your sub down to 2 ohms and get 575w instead of doing what you want to do and bridge it. so take it out of that mode and wire it at 2. heres a site to show you you wanna use the diagram that says "1 sub dvc 2/8"

the amp is only stable down to 4ohms bridged it will run two speakers at 2ohms each but its not stable down to 2ohms bridged

Wow.

This has to be the worst use of the english language I have ever seen.

How old are you? 12?

In that diagram, isn't it showing it bridged at 8 ohms? How would I wire it down to 2 ohms without bridging it and still having power?

Here is the deal:

Wire the sub in parallel, and get a 2 ohm load to the amp.

you need to sell the amp, and get a MONO amp that puts out 500+ watts at 2 ohm.
