Powering W6V2

[noonej21 10+ year member]

Quick question for all the experts out there. I am thinking on getting a single W6V2 most likely a 10. However the 4 ohm DVC is presenting an issue with the amp I plan to use. The amp is a PPI PC2150(150x2 @4, 300x2 @ 2, 600x1 @4). I could run the amp in stereo hooking each VC up to a channel and giving the sub 150 watts per VC, or I could run this amp and another that I have (Art Series A600, same #'s as PC2150) bridged to eack VC. In this setup each coil would get close to 600 watts which I would assume is too much. What would be the better option? I have looked into some other subs but I am leary of buying a speaker that I have never heard, have heard the W6V2 and loved it.

thanks for the help

Well, you could just run the sub with the coils in series and still get over 300Wrms with that amp. I personally would not run to PC2150's bridged to each coil, besides that would be kind of tough with their jumpering connection set up. The best option is to just get another amp that is 2ohm mono stable.
