[QUOTE="misfit138, post: 6765566, member: 611275"] - A single 2 ohm dvc sub can only be wired to 1 or 4 ohms, which means you won't be able to get all of your amplifier's available power unless you run two pairs of them. - There are several possibilities. Your amp does 125 watts rms x2 @ 4 ohms, 200 watts rms x2 @ 2 ohms or 400 watts rms x1 @ 4 ohms. This means you have several different configurations that you can choose from. I'll list a few of them for you. Four 4 ohm svc subs: Each pair wired to 2 ohms. Two subs per channel Four 2 ohm dvc subs: Each pair wired to 2 ohms. Two subs per channel Two 2 ohm svc subs: One sub per channel Two 4 ohm dvc subs: Each sub wired as I showed earlier in the thread. One sub per channel One 4 ohm svc sub: Bridge the amplifier to obtain 400 watts rms x1 @ 4 ohms. One 2 ohm dvc sub: Bridge the amplifier to obtain 400 watts rms x1 @ 4 ohms. There are other options as well, but the ones listed above should cover pretty much anything you'd want to do. [/QUOTE]
