[QUOTE="Bassphreak, post: 1761791, member: 567783"] The sub you won is a 4 ohm SVC. It's two easy to tell a SVC sub from a DVC sub. If it's a SVC sub there will only be two terminals to hook up...one - and one + If it is a DVC sub there will be two sets or pairs of terminals to wire so you will have a set of - and + for each voice coil so a total of four terminals. As far as if it is 4 ohm or 2 ohm.......I don't know of any sub companies that make a 2 ohm SVC only 2 ohm DVC. So I will step up and say you have a 4 ohm SVC subwoofer. So to help you out a little here we go....... If you have one 4 ohm SVC sub there is only one way to wire it and that is in series to present a 4 ohm load. Now if you happen to geta second 4 ohm SVC sub then you can fool around a bit and wire in parallel for a 2 ohm load. So,seeing as you have one 4 ohm SVC sub there is no other option but to wire for a 4 ohm load so you will need an amp that will give the sub it's rated RMS wattage or more at 4 ohms but I would suggest you get a mono amp that is stable down to 2 ohms incase you decide to get a second sub of the same make.
