tell more about the sub. dual or single coil? impedance?

It's dual voice coil 4ohm parrellel wired

that amp is not the best amp. I would just run it one coil per and use a mono signal to the amp inputs. I think the amp will last longer that way. If you wire the amp to 2 ohms, you will only get 260watts if your lucky, and only off either the left or right channel. but if you do like I said, you will get 180 watts @ 4 ohms per channel per coil.

I am assuming your stereo has a sub line level output that is mono. If so, just use a "y" splitter and plug into amp inputs

•power 2 ohms: 260w per channel

•power 4 ohms: 180w per channel

•power 4 ohms bridged: 260w bridged mono

So run separate inputes to each coil

Or do u mean un parellel wire it then hook one coil to a bridged amp

So run separate inputes to each coil

input = rca plug into amplifier. rca from stereo to amplifier.

speaker terminal on amp hoook up to speaker or sub.

so run each coil to it's own speaker terminal.

Run the stereo sub rca output (hopefully mono) to the amplifier rca input. and that should solve your problems with getting the most efficient power from that amp.
