ol'school meets newschool ?

please forgive my stupidity in advice.

Can this be done? Should this be done?

I had an old pair of orion xtreme dvc's laying around and I figured heck I should do something with them. I found a deal on a used kenwood kac-7201, so i picked it up. but I have no directions. now here comes the the problems and questions.

one of the subs was damaged in storage. the wire on the backside of the cone is pulled off from the speaker it's trashed right? ok  now I only have one good sub  and 2 channel amp.  the DVC sub is at 2/8 ohm on the spec. sheet obtianed though orion website.  why is it when I did my search most newer DVCs are rated at 4ohm? now on to wiring.... how should I wire it up with only one sub?  bridge the amp?  run both channles ?  wire the subs'  dual voice coils parralel or seires ?

here are some specs:  Orion xtr dvc 2/8 ohms, 94/98 db, Fs(hz)24, Pmax 500 watts

kac-7201 14.4v bridged 460x1 (  1ohm?I think correct if wrong), power output at 2 ohms 230X2, power outputat 4 ohms 150x2.

The amps wattage is rated at 14.4v  ha...ha.. yeah right how is that going to happen on a 12 volt system, maybe 12.6v if the alt. is charging.  I could not find kenwoods technical specs, I found these spes off an Ebay listing. oh... well thanks in advance

So with the help of First Class and 12 volts woofer calculators, I figured out that my 7 year old orion xtr's dual voice coil are rated at 4 ohms a peice. Just like newer subs. Wire the sub's voice coils in parallel 2ohms, in series 8 ohms.

now on to the amp, First class said to only use one channel, will this hurt my kac-7201 or not? or Should I brigde the 2 channels? I am going to run the sub's voice coils in parallel.

does anyone know where to find the specs on this amp?

he wrote bridged 460X1 at 1 ohms he thinks in his original post, I am just going off of that.
