I recently purchased this amp to power my whole system. I'm gonna run my components off the front channels 1&2. I was planning on running a Sub off 3&4 bridged. I haven't purchased the sub yet. I want to get a JL Audio 10w3v2 d4. This is a dual 4ohm rated at 300Watts rms. My question is, If I wire the sub as a 2 Ohm load will this amp be stable enough and powerful enough to drive it?

Thanks for your replies.

I dont see why t would not be able to handle 2 ohms

So this would work good? Any other single 10" I should consider? Would it be ideal to run the amp bridged and have the sub wired at 2 ohms? I am going for a SQ system. It's going in an extended cab pickup so the sub will be in a sealed box because of lack of space.

it won't be stable to 2ohm. try to get a dual 2ohm JL sub and run one coil off each channel. if not..bridge it and run the sub in series so it'll see a 4ohm load.

Thanks for the replies. So the JL dual 2ohm. Which would be the best way to wire it? Wire the voice coils in series and bridge channels3&4? Or hook up a channel to each voice coil? also should I use the sub out on my head unit? also which way should I fire the sub? up down or forward? Thanks, Wayne
