you cant wire 1 2ohm sub to 2ohms. its either 4 or 1. get another one and you can wire to 2 ohms.

hm i think i have to use link one and wire it in a series at 4ohms? but would it still play 500 watts at 4ohm or is it louder at 2 ohms?

 

[Jh8909 10+ year member]

what version do you have? D2 or D4?

*facepalm*

do you understand the meaning of impedance?

between 2 ohms and 4 ohms on a small amp the dB difference is probally only 3+ or -.

would it be okay to run 2 of those subs on this amp? http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAudio/p_14538_Pioneer_Premier_PRS-D3000SPL.aspx

its about 5 years old and i think its losing power..
