[QUOTE="magnus28, post: 7424896, member: 635155"] Thanks hope.. as always sound advise... I read the manual, It says use low level output for best results with subs... I will run the remote wire to the factory head unit.. that should be enough to turn amp on and off? and one more question... By just running each sub off of bridged 1+2 channel, and 3+4 channel, can I not wire the subs themselves together in series+parallel? What i'm getting at, is I wan Synchronized subs, not 2 different sounding subs, I want the beat to match precisely... I have a basic understanding of how wiring parallel and series works.... If you wire 2 4 omh subs together in parallel - the impedance is halved, so down to 2, then have again when wiring it parallel to amp = 1 ohm wire subs in series together, doubles the impedance to 8 ohm, wire series+parallel and it splits the difference down to 2 ohms. That being said, you have to run subs as low as your amp can run safely... In the case of my amp, it says 2 ohms safely in 4 channel mode, and 4 ohms in bridged mode.. so I have to keep it at 4 ohms so my amp won't get damaged.. correct me if I am wrong.. I just want my subs to sound like 1 sub, and not 2 separate ones..... [/QUOTE]
