[QUOTE="db47201, post: 5751907, member: 608340"] If you have ONE dual 2 ohm subwoofer, wiring it as in the shown diagram it will make the load 1 ohm to the amp. Like said, THE ONLY way to change this load to ANY amp, would be to add another woofer. MONO amps have ONE pos/neg input. You may either run ONE woofer to this pos/neg OR run multiple woofers, meaning 2 or more, in series. This will all depend on the amplifiers capabilities. If the amp is 1 ohm stable, you could run 1 dual 2 ohm woofer wired like the shown diagram. That would be 1 ohm run to a 1 ohm stable amp. If you have a multiple channel amp, for instance MORE THAN ONE, pos/neg input, chances are it has a bridged setting. You will need to pull out the amps manual, or google the specifications on the said amp. If you are wanting to run ONE woofer in a 1 ohm load to an amp thats not capable of consistently holding that said load, it WILL smoke something eventually after consistent use. if you BRIDGE a stereo amp (more than one channel) there will be a set of pos/neg terminals left unused. Most amps have the bridged setting inscribed on the side of the amp right above or below the terminals. Not to be a prick, but if you didnt understand that, I suggest you go to your nearest stereo shop and have them help you pick equipment and do the install. David [/QUOTE]
