sub wired to 1 ohm but have an amp ????

[broncoman1532]

I have an Orion h2 12" dvc 2 ohm sub. I have it wired down to 1 ohm. The amp I pick up today is an autotek 4000 watt( hahaha). It's a 2 channel and is not bridgeable. I think the amp is 1 ohm stable it didn't get hot but I have 8 gauge wires right now. The amp take 4 gauge. I am not sure how to wire the sub The amp. What would be best. Thanks

sounds like the mm 4000 and its 2 ohm stable ,but if it takes only 4 gauge then it may be one of the newer amps ,need to know actual model of the amp

Where do they say that unless we're thinking of diff amp's.....

The new 4000 mean machine all black is a one ohm amp ..

Click the link right up there in his post ^^ says one ohm there as well rated 2k

It says online its 1 ohm stable. I don't get the 2 speaker terminals. Normally the 4000.1 would mean 1 channel right. How should I wire it up then

It's internally connected .. It is a mono amp .. Just use 1 pos 1 neg connection doesn't matter which
