Re: wiring a sub to amp
if your sub is a single voice coil sub and runs at 4 ohms, then nothing you can do...this type of sub will have only one pair of inputs
if your sub is a dual voice coil sub, and each coil is 2 ohms, it can run at 2ohms yes... wire up all the positives together and connect to amp....connect all negatives together and connect to amp...et voila

Re: wiring a sub to amp
is there any reason for that? there is no single manufacturer who makes the best of everything? its better if you run different brands as you get more for your money

Hi Chris, the best sub for your money would be something like the Ascendant Audio Arsenal 12" sub...its 500wrms, has got 18mm of xmax which is FAR more than most subs of similar money....not only will the sub play loud, it also plays very clean and precise...if you want more loudness, and get a ported box for the sub...you will get twice the loudness in general and you will have the ability to tune the sub how you want it to sound...
have a look here http://www.teamspb.co.uk/PAGES/ASCENDAN ... AUDIO.html under arsenal and for pics http://bladeice.com/arsenal.php
£170 RRP + P+P
I sell for £150 +P+P
