[QUOTE="ahole-ic, post: 7236896, member: 619324"] I say bridge them. You are getting a little cancellation running them in 2 channel mode. If you have 2 single 4 ohm woofers you're correct in assuming they will be at a 8 ohm final impedence. It won't decrease your power output. It will be the exact same as it is now. Each channel is seeing 4 ohms now. Anyways, to achieve this, on your amp it should tell you what terminals to use to bridge. You are going to only use 1 positive and 1 negative. Take the positive and go to the positive of one sub. Take the negative and go to the negative of the OTHER sub. Then wire the remaining terminals of the subs (each sub should still have a terminal not connected to anything) to each other. So, you can see that the current must flow out of the amplifier, through one subwoofer, into the other woofer, and then back to the amplifier. This is series wiring. Enjoy your newfound deebeez.
