8 ohm sub...wiring questions??
i have a decent fosgate 10" 200w RMS 8 ohm sub lying around and I dont really want to buy a new one. i am building my system up and i would like to incorporate this sub into the system. i have two rainbow component speakers that are capable of handling 100w RMS so i would like to run about 85w RMS to each of those and bridge the other two channels to run the subwoofer. 4 ohms would be better to run the components right?? how would i go about wiring the sub up without blowing the amp or anything?? would this be too much of a hassle to even mess with this?? thanks for all your help.

1.# of channels?
2. Is your amp stable @ 2,4,or 8 ohms?
3. power output at what ohms, per channel?
-need to be more specific with questions-

the pg amp will run that sub just fine. You dont need to buy another sub.
Good choice of amps.
