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?


it is the same to the amp, but I would just bridge it at 4 ohms since it is just one speaker.

phase is basically just a fancy word for polarity, but it can get more complicated when you are talking about sound waves.

when you have 2 speakers wired together and you hook the speaker wire to the positive and negative of a battery both speakers should move in the same direction(in or out) and this is referred to as being in phase. if they each move the opposite way of each other then they are out of phase with each other.

thats right, but some amp's terminals are +--+ instead of +-+- so make sure you pay attention to how they are on your amp.
