[QUOTE="i2ain2thunder, post: 7362201, member: 631331"] Sorry had to actually do some work here at work. My best guess is that you have a dual voice coil 4ohms per voice coil subwoofer however you're subwoofer is not clear. Heres the deal: If your sub is what I think it is a DVC 4ohm, then you cannot bridge it (use both channels) you can only use 1 channel meaning you can only send it 250watts, this wont be very loud. If you are lucky and it is a dual 2 ohm voice coil sub, then you can wire it to 4ohms and use the amplifier bridged which will send it 500watts which will power it nicely. I doubt this is the case though you probally need to get an amp that is mono and can do 500watts rms at 2 ohms or a 2 channel that is stable bridged at 2 ohms, yours is only stable at 4 ohms.
