I need a sub suggestion for a Fosgate 700s amp.

Sorry, I didnt mean 1 ohm load from what you showed me, I opened another page that showed that...Here is the pic from my owners manual that shows what I mean..now it shows 2 subs but dont think of it as 2 subs think of it as 2 coils please. I think this is the way it needs to be hooked up, but im not to bright either.

Hmm, I think I see the light. The sub puts out 700 watts when bridged into a 4 ohm channel, so I should wire it like you said to and have a 4 ohm load to run with my 1 channel 700 watt briged mono load...OHHHHH..Is that really different then running 350 per coil some how though??

2ohm load per channel 350X2

4ohm load per channel 700X1

Same thing right?

Running 700x1 is just the right way to hook it up. Like I said before, you want the exact same signal running to each voice coil... and running it @ 2-ohm stereo will not ensure you of that (unless your HU has a mono out -- in which case you would need to use a y-adapter at the amp for either config).
 
The diagram just above that one is the one you want... left positive, right negative.

But you can hook it up in stereo like every other n00b if you want to... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

HAHAHA! No, Ill hook it up like you pros do. Thats why I asked. I figured I was wrong and missing the point some how.
