If you plan to run only the sub with this amp I would recommend bridging the amp and using the lowpass filter set to roughly 90 hz.

ok thanks for the help. one more thing. how should i be setting up the voice coils. parallel or series. the sub has two 4 ohm VC. im not sure if the amp is 2 ohm stable in bridge mode.

So wire the sub in series

(4 ohm load)

and bridge it

Or wire to 2 ohm and dont bridge
