No idea, it all depends on the voice coil configuration of the sub

Well its a dual voice coil 2ohm sub which is what i have bridged to a 2 channel amp. I have it wired as a 1 ohm load. this picture is showing it wired as a 4ohm load so im guessing that it will work not sure thou casue obviously i dont know much

yes it will work,

 

[flash0303 10+ year member]

yes it will work,

Ok but the way i have it wired the amp is getting wayy to hot and my sub is turning off at certain points of volume. Will it work better if i wire like that

If your sub is dual 2ohm...then yes.

Since you didn't give us the model number....and I was bored....I went to the Quantum site. They offer that sub with dual 4ohm and also with dual 2ohm.

Which of these two are the model number of the sub?

1.QCSW12D2

2.QCSW12D4

If it's #1, then you want to wire it like this.

If it's #2, then you are kinda screwed. Because I am guessing this it the amp that you have - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16882105249

And if you try to run that amp at anything less than 4ohm mono, it will do just what it's doing now.

Yes. The 1 ohm load you have on your amp now is too hard on it.

The 4 ohm load will be easier on your electrical, and your amp.
