Need Some Advice

[szymonurai]

Equipment I own:

Pioneer PRS-D2200T Amplifier

Pioneer Premier PRS-D2200T 2-channel car amplifier — 150 watts RMS x 2 at Crutchfield Signature

Pioneer TS-W1008D2 Subwoofer

Pioneer Premier TS-W1008D2 Champion Series 10" subwoofer with dual 2-ohm voice coils at Crutchfield Signature

Alright so I recently wanted to add some deeper bass to my car. So I got an amplifier and a subwoofer. The amplifier listed is a 2-channel amplifier rated 300watts rms per channel at 2 0hms. But also does 150 watts rms at 4ohms I only have one subwoofer. My subwoofer is rated at 350 watts. If I only hook up one channel to my pioneer amplifier will be completely missing sound since I am only using one channel? My subwoofer would not handle the channels being bridged would it? Or is there some way to turn down the power so it won't exceed 350 watts.

What is coming to my mind is i should probably just buy another subwoofer.

Any advice would be appreciated.

That sub has Dual 2 ohm coils, yes? Thus it can be wired to 1 ohm (your amp wouldn't like that, eh?) or 4 ohm (less power)

Wire everything up so you can have your amp bridged @ 4 ohm. There will be a gain knob to adjust how much power your amp will produce @ certain volumes.
