Sure. Just make sure both channels are in phase.

sorry for the dp but in this situation what ohm load would that put on the amp? If you had a 4ohm amp rated 400x2 would you get 200watts to each voice coil?

if an amp is 400x2, lets say at 2 ohm stereo(2 ohms per channel)and your sub was 2 ohm DVC( 2 ohms per coil) and you hooked 1 coil to each channel of the amp then you would theoretically get 400 watts per coil

what would be the diference if you wired the sub in parallel to one channel or brigged if amp allows that

if an amp allows 2 ohm stereo it should only allow 4 ohm mono(bridged). so you could not wire the 2 ohm dvc sub in parallel and then bridge it because that would be 1 ohm mono. and you could only wire it to a single channel if the amp supports 1 ohm per channel, which most 2 channel amps wont support. you COULD wire the sub in series to give you a 4 ohm load and bridge it, but power wise it would be the same as 2 ohm stereo.

thanks for all the answers and i want the boom good question also....i always thought if it were rated for 400x2 then you get 400 for each channel so that was good to kno. but basically it is okay to wire it up with one channel per voice coil. so good to kno |

I understand what you are saying. If it was you who were hooking the sub up would you wire the sub in series and bridge it to the amp for a 4ohm load, or would you run each voice coil to each channel in stereo at 2ohms? From what you are saying they will both produce the same power but wouldnt the the difference in the ohm load have an effect on the amp? would the amp be more efficient at 2 or 4 ohms?
