i have a DVC infinity Refernce sub wired to 8ohms (300 watts rms). I have a 4 channel amp that puts out 100 watts per channel at 8ohms. Can I series 3 channels together and feed them into my sub. Will this damage anything.

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't think it would work but decided it might be worth asking. Thank you for the help.

So is there any way to feed 300 watts of power into this sub from that amp.

Urban Audio Works 800 watt. 4x200 @ 4 ohm. 2x400 @ 4 ohm. Right now I have it hooked up with two channels bridged. 400 watts at 4 ohm, so about 200 watts at 8 ohm.

Yep, that sounds like the best arrangement with that equipment. The difference between 200 watts and 300 watts is relatively insignificant, don't sweat it.
