[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1435456, member: 561023"] According to the manual (available in .pdf file format on Legacy's site) your amp is rated for 150w X 2 @ 4 Ohm stereo / 230w X 2 @ 2 Ohm stereo / *given bridged rating is 1800w X 1* I'll assume bridged RMS output is allegedly 460w X 1 @ 4 Ohm mono briged. Knowing Legacy's years-long track record I will also assume that these figures are somewhat optimistic. For the sake of argument let's say that amp will do 200w X 2 @ 2 Ohm stereo or 400w X 1 @ 4 Ohm mono bridged. Having Dual 4 Ohm subwoofers and that amp your best best is to [I]either[/I] wire each subwoofer to a 2 Ohm nominal load (see [URL="http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs=1&impedance=DVC4x2"]here[/URL] for wiring details) and run each off of its own stereo amp channel [I]or[/I] Wire both subs together to a nominal impedence of 4 Ohms combined and run the amp in bridged mono mode (see [URL="http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wiring.html?subs=2&impedance=DVC4x2"]here[/URL] for wiring details) Either way you're going to be giving each Type R in the neighborhood of 200 watts and while they will play....that's not enough power to make the most of the R's potential.
