Sammitch0 Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 First off I'd send that amplifier back, you want MONOblocks for subwoofer and multiple channels for door speakers etc. I'd also suggest building a box, but since you're only running this then that might be a waste of time/money depending on how much your prefab will cost. Problem is that subwoofer is Single 4 OHM @ 500RMS and that amplifier doesn't even do 400RMS bridged @ 4OHM. Then again I guess that's all you have for choices. Id just suggest a bigger amplifier that does 500RMS @ 4OHM true power maybe Alpine or AudioPipe or Hifonics?

Skullz Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 We ran 2ch amps bridged for years fine with no problems plus he already said he has it so it'll be fine for the time being bridged at 4ohm. if he wants to he can run a pair of speakers and also a sub on the amp.

Skullz Posted December 4, 2010 Report Share Posted December 4, 2010 Posititve amp on positive sub and negative amp and negative sub, you'll notice that you'll be using the outside connections on the amp that are printed + -. If you look at the amp under the screws it will say bridged and have lines to the outer terminals, you use those terminals hooking the sub up.

If you look at the amp under the screws it will say bridged and have lines to the outer terminals, you use those terminals hooking the sub up. Ok, bridge the sub and make it 4 ohm to the amp. Got that. What I want to know is how to wire the sub in the box. There should be (2) +/- terminals on the sub itself. + -------- + - -------- - if your looking at the sub magnet UP. or just run off one set of terminals on the sub? ^wires^ Quote C Webbie~GO HUSKERS!

I know wiring options are simpler with monoblocks but aside from that they work just fine. 350 watts is fine for that sub, 500 watts is the max RMS you will want to give it.
