hello all first post here and i need a little help.currently i'm running a eclipse xa4000 4 channel amp on 2 older mtx 8000 10" subs.but i'm wanting to go all eclipse front to back.i already have 4" and 6 1/2 "point source and an ea4000 on them and i'm looking for a good deal on a head unit.anyways i'm wanting to put a single 12" dvc sub on the xa4000 with each coil bridged to each side of the amp.the amp's rms is 350 per side bridged.is this doable,i do not want to replace the xa4000 period or even move it to mids and highs

Yes this is "doable" as long as you get a Dual 4 Ohm speaker.

Not going to happen unless you find a older model Titanium driver. It was the only model that was dvc 4 ohm and could handle 750w rms. Look for the SW9122.

Ohhhh, yeeaaahh... Even though my PERSONAL opinion is that it wanted more than 750... If you can't lay hands on an older Ti woofer, try one of these...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
