Default Need help on amp sub ohms again.

Changing my system config and have some questions.

I have an amp that's bridgeable to one channel at 425 X 1 at 4 ohms and have a sub that's 4 ohm DVC laying around. How do I wire both up so that the sub maxes out it's output? OR should I be buying a 2 ohm DVC? Thanks in advance

You need a 2 Ohm dual voice coil Sub


If you were using 2 4ohm Dual voice coil subs you could wire them like this to show the amp 4 ohms:


But you said you only have 1


Here's the link to the page I use:

you either run it at 8oh, or dont run it at all...cuase there is no relaly wat to get 4ohm out of htat sub unless you run just one coil, whcih is not recommended...you need a single 4ohm or dual 2ohm sub
