holy shittttttt,it is a single 8ohm ,wow ,so if you hook them together parellel ,youll be running at 4 ohm ,and if you bridge them the amp will see half the load which will be 2 ohms bridged ,i dont know what amount of power that would be tho

well its not always bad ,but teh amp you have doesnt give a 4 ohm bridged spec ,so i dont know exactly how much power it will give

it has a 100w x 2 ch @ 4 ohms...any good? or is it best to be bridged

well with it being 8ohms ,you wont get really any power just ran in each channel ,so inorder to drop the ohm load you need to connect the subs together ,and bridge it ,which is what i would do ,should be ok then

so just have one sub wired to the amp n wire the 2 subs together?
sosatheshark   +1y
just hook + to + of each sub AND - TO - OF EACH SUB ,then take a + and _ and bridge it on the amp and your good

remember back in the day 8ohm and up was quite common. the did that for the guys that built walls and they could do like 12 subs and run the amp at like 1 ohm. i was digging though freemans old outlet store a few years ago and found a jlaudio 12w0 that was 6ohm. now thats wierd...lol

i know 6 ohm is a lil weird ,i had 6 jl audio 15w6s ,and i did think it was strange ,but 8ohm ,is almost a standard home audio rate ,but things in electronics change i guess lol
