[QUOTE="Betrayer00GT, post: 4162544, member: 582890"] Well, with a 4-ch amp and a pair of dual 2ohm voice coil subs, you have a couple options for an optimum setup. The first would be to hook up each of the 4 channels of the amp directly to a voice coil on your pair of dual voice coil subs. That way, each channel is seeing a 2ohm load. This means running 4 sets of speaker wire, two from each sub. The other option is to wire each pair of voice coils on each sub together in series, then run the (+) and (-) leads off each driver to the "Bridged" outputs of each pair of channels. Then you only run a pair of speaker cables, one to each driver. I run a single dual-2ohm sub off one stereo amp in bridged operation, personally. I am mildly concerned about running each voice coil off its own channel, because what if there is way more bass info in one channel vs another? It is not very likely that it would ever matter, but it bugs me thinking about it. So, I wired my two voice coils in series and ran that to the bridged operation connections on my amp. Plus, there's less cables to run that way. [/QUOTE]
