[QUOTE="squeak9798, post: 495047, member: 555320"] If you wire two DVC 4ohm subs in series parallel you get a 4ohm load (each sub in parallel is a 2ohm load, then series them together for a 4ohm load). If you bridge a 2 channel amp to them, then [I]each channel[/I] on the amp "sees" a 2ohm load, but it is still a 4ohm mono load. It doesn't matterwhat subs are used.....when you bridge an amp each channel will "see" half of the load, but that doesn't change what the actual load is. That's why an amps bridged 4ohm rating is the sum of both channels 2ohm rating (an amp rated 200w x 2 @ 2ohm is rated 400w x 1 @ 4ohm) [/QUOTE]
