[QUOTE="Jepalan, post: 8191730, member: 655519"] original poster - I don't think you are getting clear advice. 1) If it is a dual VC 4-ohm sub, then it can be wired for 2 ohms (parallel) or 8ohms (series) if using *both* coils. 2) It is *possible* to use only one coil and run the sub as a 4-ohm load, BUT the one coil will only be able to handle HALF the rated power of the sub, so you have to be careful to set gains and not blow the single VC. Make sense? [/QUOTE]
