you can't do that, you can only wire that sub to 1 or 4 ohms.

no, you can't. wire it to 4 ohms so that you don't fry your amp.

If that is a SVC 2ohm sub what is the problem wiring it to a 2ohm stable amp? Or is it a DVC?

the L5 only comes in dual 2 or dual 4 //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

the sub is a dual 2 ohm, if i was too run it at 2 ohm to get all the power wut could go wrong??

The point is You CANT run it at 2Ohm..Dual 2 in parallel = 1Ohm, Dual 2 in series = 4Ohm. Its simply Not possible. Its not like just flipping a switch and theres 2 Ohms..

yeah so if i was to wire it as a series wich is for 1 ohm will it still sound good?? and give it all it gots, or can it be damaged, either the sub or amp.

uhh i dont think ur amp is 1ohm stable so it prob burn up ur amp //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yes itll pound for a few minutes if that before your amp is fried.

You have three options.

1) Wire the existing sub to 4 ohms

2) Buy a new sub (get the Dual 4 ohm model)

3) Buy a new amp that is stable to 1 ohm

That's pretty much it little buddy.
