[QUOTE="Trixter, post: 158150, member: 542668"] Welcome to the board! If you stick around long enough you will more than likely be able to have all your Q's answered, there is a great group of people that are willing to help. As far as you Q goes, personally I would not bridge the channels going to the sub. I would wire it just like it shows in the first diagram. By the sounds of it the sub is getting mixed signals and/or wired wrong. You have to use all the terminals on the sub. Try it like the first pic. and see what happens. Even though the amp states 2ohm stable, I think that is at stereo not mono. Meaning if you bridge the amp (making the signal mono) you have to stay at 4ohms. If you do not bridge (keep in stereo) you can go down to 2ohms. Go with the 4ohm stereo config. and you should be fine. Also make sure that the channel 3 and 4 settings are the same (gains, x-overs). Where it has you wiring from the - of one sub terminal to the + of another, just seperate a piece of speaker wire into 2 pieces and use that. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
