The amps rms at 4 ohms and 2 ohms will help. The subs are they dvc or svc? what ohms and rms watts for the sub. |

Quite simple... First you want to know exactly the ohm load your amp is stable at. Second you would want to know what impedence your subs are. Third if the subs are single voice coil or dual voice coil. Then input the following info on this site http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp and it will tell you the different wiring configurations and the ohm load your subs will present to the amp.

When you bridge an amp does it drop/gain ohms, or does it stay the same? I have a DVC 2 ohm sub and I am bridgeing my amp for it. So if the amp doesn't gain/drop ohms, I would want to wire my sub in series? |
