tuning my system

dude... just connect both subs in parellel to that amp.... i remember that lil amp to be a monster... however that would give u 2 ohm stereo... which will eventually shut the amp down when it gets hott... like the other guy said... start looking at a mono amp that is truly 2 ohm mono stable... in the mean time.. u should be fine with 2 ohm stereo if u connect the subs in parellel.. just remember... when it gets hot its gonna shut down...there can be only one.......

That is really bad advice.

I figured this guy didnt know what he was talking about so i just ignored him, can you please read the question about what i should set my hpf at and give me a respectable answer since  by looking at ur member status you KNOW what your talking about,thank you.

In general your HPF should be set at the same point as your LPF for your subs.  4.5" speakers tend to break up below about 100Hz, however, so you may want to adjust both the HP and the LP to about 100Hz.Support the12volt.com

thanks man,ill do that right now,thanks for the info.

Let us know how it works out.  And don't be afraid to play around with the crossover points to discover the sweet spot where your system sounds its best.Support the12volt.com

ok...i hooked both subs up normaly and it sounds ok but i have another question, since my subs are 4 ohms each and my amp is 2 ohm stable,not sure if thats bridged or just regular, can i just hook up one sub bridged to my amp? i have a 95 grand am ,do you think thatll be enough bass to make a difference?

Yes, you could use only one of your woofers bridged across a stereo amp.  Whether it will get you "more bass" or not can't be said.  You'll have to reset the amplifier gain if you make that change, of course.Support the12volt.com

should i bridge it in stereo or mono,there is a switch? Should i set the gain lower or higher,its at 3/4 up now.

oh...and one more question...the box i have now has a divider in it and i was wondering if i should take it out and use the whole box for one sub as each side has only .8 ft air space and the factory specs say for optimal performance they should have 1.25 each,how should i rectify this without having to buy or build a new box?
