In another thread a guy said that since my audiobahn is dual 4 ohm voice coils it is wired down to 2 ohms, or something like that. I'm kinda new to car audio, do I need an amp that bridges into 4 ohms for the sub, or do I want to run 2 ohms to it? |

No, its the way you wire it. Go here:

You want to wire the sub like the first diagram, and that will show the amp a 2 ohm load. If the rating on the sub is 500 watts RMS, then you need an amp that gives 500 watts into 2 ohms.

By the way, how would I wire a dual voice coil sub to an amp, with the amp bridged? |
