Question on Sub/Amp wiring.

[mdereske 10+ year member]

I'm trying to think of the best way to hook up a RE SR10 DVC 4 ohm sub. The amp would have approximately the following specs:

4 Ohm RMS Power: 4 x 150 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

2 Ohm RMS Power: 4 x 300 Watts @ 13.8 Volts

4 Ohm Bridged RMS Power: 2 x 600 Watts

The sub is rated at 300 watts RMS. Now is that 300 watts per coil, or 150 per coil, for a total of 300 watts.

So what would be the best way to hook up this amp/sub. I don't want to blow the sub as soon as I hook it up. Should I look at a larger sub, 2 ohm sub, or just keep gains down. I will be using 2 channels for front components, so I have 2 channels open.

I really appreciate all the help I have received so far. Thanks.

The RE SR is rated for total power of 300watts. It will take more though...

But how would I wire it? just on one channel at 2 ohms? First time hooking up a sub, so a little worried.

depends on what happens with AS.com Still not entirely sure what is going to happen with that, and I cant do a true 5 channel with my current HU, either 4, or 3 channel. Just looking at how to set it up on an example 4 channel so I know, and can keep my *** covered.
