should i just get a 400 watt and 4 ohm amp? or would an 8 ohm sub be wasted with a 4 ohm amp? |

Well if its an 8 ohm sub your pretty much outta of luck since all 2 channel amps need to be ran at 4 ohms bridged or 2 ohm stereo bridged. If you happen to have the 8 ohm version you have two choices. Get another one to run at 4 ohms or get an amp that is about 500 watts at 4 ohm bridged which would give you 250 at 8 ohms. |
