[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 362280, member: 542668"] By running a DVC sub in stereo you are giving each vc a different signal which can eventually ruin the sub. That was kind of the point of only using one channel. Yes the amp with be in stereo mode because it's not bridged, but the sub will only have a mono left or right signal going to it. You could bridge the amp and run the sub in series to get a 450w 8ohm load like it was stated and get the same outcome. The choice is yours. An option to get the 500w would be to split the L or R of the RCA before the amp so each side has the same signal and wire each vc to it's own side. (Chances are your not altering your balance anyways. This is the way a lot of mono amps are; sometime they look like thay have 2 channels but really it just a matter of where you split the signal.)
