[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1901687, member: 561023"] Whatever CS representative you spoke to at Crutchfield was entirely correct. If you have a DVC 4 Ohm subwoofer your only available options are wiring the coils in parallel to a 2 Ohm final load like this: [IMG]http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/carlib/subs/1_4ohmDVC_2ohm.gif[/IMG] [B][I]OR[/I][/B] wiring the coils in series to an 8 Ohm final load like this: [IMG]http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/carlib/subs/1_4ohmDVC_8ohm.gif[/IMG] Absolutely correct.You can't is the plain truth. It just simply will not happen.Your sub would see approximately half of the amp's rated 4 Ohm load output. In your case, being that the amp is rated for 270w X 2 @ 4 Ohms mono bridged if you were to present that bridged output channel with an 8 Ohm load you would be sending around 135w (give or take) to it.To tell you the truth I do not know for certain but I wouldn't advise it.
