Wiring subs to the amp

[warriorxx 10+ year member]

ok i have a 4-channel amp and have 4 subs all rate at 4-ohms 2 are 10 300 watts and 2 12 300 each. well the subs handle 2-ohms from the amp and if i did combine all those in a 1 channel bridgeable channels (2x1000@2ohms) do i need need some thing in the 2nd channel or can i get away with using 1 channel that is bridgable??? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif these a SVC i do believe

ok can i do this then bridge chan 1&2 together for the duals and use 3&4 seprate with the bazooka or not

That amp cannot do 2-ohms when bridged. Only 4 ohms. If you bridge channels 1 & 2, then you would have to run 2 subs off of that one bridged output, which would be a 2-ohm load. Can't do it.

One sub per channel. I don't see any other options. But that's not a bad thing, since the specs for that amp say it's capable of 4 x 250w RMS @ 4 ohms (overrated, I'm sure). And you say your subs are all rated for 300w. So that's a decent match, power-wise.

BTW, you say your subs are all rated for 300w. Is that max power? Or continuous (RMS) power? Ignore the max power ratings, it's purely for marketing purposes. Pay attention to the continuous, or RMS rating. That's the number that matters.
