I've got a friend trying to wire a 4 channel pyramid to his audiobahn dvc sub. How would he go about getting it down to two ohms?

I highly doubt that he can bridge it into 2 channels at 2 ohms...it will most likely fry the amp...Tell him to get a new amp, pyramid makes crap.

with all 4 channels running 1 ohm stereo (2 ohms mono) it will probably go into thermal protection within a minute or two. That's what ebay's for, sell the amp and get something more up to the task.

Well, he bought it before he knew I knew anything about car audio..anyways, I know it's 2 ohm stable..not a chance though?
