Wiring a DVC sub

[Trixter 10+ year member]

I should have gotten a 2ohm dvc sub //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/verymad.gif.3f39c5c2fd57527b671fad3efdfac756.gif

...or another 4ohm dvc sub....(one for each channel)

It's not about me "figuring" anything, I just know how to read. And in my owners manual and on every site I have found listing the specs on this amp, it shows them as being:
250rms x 2 @4ohms

450rms x 2 @2ohms

900rms x 1 @4ohms bridged

Now do you see how I "figure"?

I'm not dead set on anything yet, I asked the question to find out if there were any reasons I shouldn't run it at 4ohms stereo. I didn't realize that bass had variances from left to right. I'm gonna hit up a few shops around town tomorrow and get some more opinions.

Acting like a noob is asking someone why they recommend a certain setup?

Do you see 8 ohm bridged on there? Notice how the 2 ohm stereo power is not twice the power of the four ohm stereo power. Notice also how the 4 ohm bridged power is twice the power of one of the 2 ohm channels. So too will the 8 ohm bridged be twice the power of one of the 4 ohm channels. This amp does not double its power into 2 ohms compared to four, the power supply can't deal with that much current, but the bridging power numbers will still work. 4 ohms bridged is twice the power of a single channel at 2 ohms, and 8 ohms bridged will be twice one of the channels at 4 ohms. That's the way it works.

You want me to talk to you like an installer, yet you don't get how bridging works. Then when I told you what and why, you tell me I'm wrong. That's acting like a newb.
