Well when u bridge its kinda like strapping...it cuts ohm in half on amp....on 2ch amp cuz its most the time 2 amps internally, make sense?

ok...but isnt this a 1 channel amp?

yeah but if you wire the sub to 4 ohms...its 4 ohms on the amp...if you wire the sub to 1 ohm...its 1 ohm on the amp. the 2 sets of terminals on the amp are just there to make wiring options a bit easier

i was referring to the fact that even with 2 sets of terminals its a 1 channel amp.

No its a 2ch amp.....on a mono amp youd be correct Bones but this is a 2ch amp

I owned one

well anyways...i think we all agree a dual 2 sub would not be the best choice compatibility wise..

so you are telling me that if you had a svc 4 ohm sub and you hooked it up to a 2 channel amp in bridged mode...neg from sub to neg on one channel..pos on sub hooked to pos on other channel...that the amp would see 2 ohms?

2 channel or mono....if you wire the sub to 4 ohms...the amp runs at 4 ohms

Well hard to explain....but why do you think the rating is 4000x1@2ohm mono and 2000x2@1ohm stereo

Or that its only 2ohm stable mono but 1ohm in stereo

only time ur amp will see half the ohm loadage is when u bride the amp/ run it mono that means 1 positive on left side of the amp and negative on the right side of the amp u get the point. so yes if u had an single 4 ohm vc sub and wired it to the amp mono then yes each side of the amp will see an 2 ohm load. like i said ive heard these amp sweet spot is around 3.3 ohms so depending on box and port size. id keep the Dual 2 sub and wire it @ 4ohms mono. maybe ur imp rise wont be soooooooooo bad and u get around the sweet spot 3 ohms

because with 2000rmsx2@1 ohm..its 2 subs..each at 1 ohm..getting 2000 each.

the 4000x1 @2 ohm is 1 sub..getting 4000 at 2 ohm. really its the same thing

amp is supposley be 1 ohm stable STEREO and 2 OHM stable mono. but like i said ive Always ran mine @ 1 ohm MONO with no problems. these are very solid amps.
