    Default 2ohm / 4 ohm + Subwoofer Dilemma

    I've got this 10" DVC MOMO that I'm going to be hooking up shortly. I've never used a DVC sub before but I have read up online about wiring options. I realized though that I do have a problem that I'll need to get advice on.

    The amplifier I have is only stable on bridged mode (150 WATTS) to 4 ohms. If I wire both voice coil in series?? then I'll be presenting the amp with a 2 ohm load and the amp can't take that in bridged....right??? In stereo mode, the amp CAN go down to 2 ohms and puts out 75 watts per ......

    How should I wire the sub for best sound? Can I just ignore the one set of voice coils, go with the amp in bridged mode into the other voice coil and still get the same performance as I would if I were using a "standard" SVC sub?

    Thanks!!

    Generally speaking, the lower the impedance, the higher the distortion on the amp. No reason to run it down to 2 ohm, wire it in parrallel for an 8 ohm load. Check this out http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/le...pedance=DVC4x2
    There are two ways to argue with women. Both of them are wrong.
