[QUOTE="Prowler573, post: 1378185, member: 561023"] First test the coils with a DMM to see if they're okay. If they are then I would suggest you made a bit of a tactical error. It is a major pain in the posterior to wire a DVC sub with one coil powered by an independent amp channel. It can be done but it is a pain. Since you have a Dual 4 Ohm sub and a two channel amp your options are: A) Wire each coil to its own amp channel. Again, getting this set up properly is possible but a pain to get right. B) Wire the sub's coils in parallel for a 2 Ohm load, bridge the amp, and then likely watch the amp quickly go into protection as it isn't stable at 2 Ohms bridged. This is simply a possible course of action and not one I would suggest following. C) Wire the sub's coils in series for an 8 Ohm load, bridge the amp to a single mono channel, and give the sub only half of the amp's bridged, 4 Ohm output rating. You kinda need a monoblock amp or a Dual 2 Ohm sub. The two pieces of equipment you have now aren't particularly suited for a happy partnership. [/QUOTE]
