wiring 2 ohm subs

    Im thinking about buying these power acoustik subs  : http://www.caraudiodeals.com/product_info.php?cPath=21_24&products_id=307

They are Dual 2 Ohm voice coil.

I own this amp  :   http://www.caraudiodeals.com/product_info.php?cPath=28_30&products_id=368

My question is does my amp handle 2ohm? Ive hurd it will only handle 4ohm.  I know that i can wire a single  dual 2 ohm voice coil sub to 4ohm.  Can i hook that one sub up to 1 channel of my 2 channel amp? Or does it have to be bridged?

Also does wiring a 2ohm sub to 4ohm take rms handling power away?

If anyone can help me out with this post it would be great.

Thankyou

According to the amp specs, that amp will safely handle 4 ohms bridged.  Since you already have the amp, look for a couple of dual 4 ohm subs, or just buy one of those Power Acoustics.  Be warned- neither of those brands is known for high quality, so the specs may look good on paper, but may not give you what you want.

The rms rating of a speaker does not change.  What will change, however, is the load on the amp.  Running an amp at a lower impedence will produce more power, but will also create more heat as well as higher THD levels (distortion).  When running an amp at a higher impedence will produce less power, it will run cooler, and produce a cleaner sound.  So there is a tradeoff and it all depends on what you're after.

Thanks for your reply.

All i need to know now is , if i wire a 2ohm sub to 4ohm   how do i connect that to my 2 channel amp? can i put it on 1 channel? or does it have to be bridged?

Im buying 2 of the 2ohm subs. So if i wire them seperate to 4ohms can i hook 1 up to 1channel and the other to the 2nd channel?

I dont really want to bridge it because my amp is 2000 watts max bridged. and the subs are only 1800 watts max a peice.  It might spike them. Plus i dont think i can bridge two 2ohm subs to equal 4ohm, can i?

Hey im guessing your the newb with a big wallet? You go out and spend top dollar on namebrand stuff that only pushes out 100rms per 300 bux for an amp. My buddy has a 1600 watt Legacy peice of shyt amp(100 bux). With cheap ol legacy speakers(30 bux each) in his hatchback civic. It shakes the whole car to peices, he has cracks in his glass. Cant even look into the rearview window because its blur.(149db)

Im sorry i dont work for a living to pay off system debt.
