JBL BP600.1? I don't want to damage the sub or amp. Should I just buy another 10W7 and bridge them to a 2 ohm load?

Thanks in advance for any assistance.

What is the impedance of the woofer? Single or dual voice coil? What is the minimum safe operating impedance of that amp? How much power does it produce into the 2 possible ohm loads?

The 10W7 is Single Voice Coil and 3ohms as far as I know. The amp is stable to 1 ohm @ 600Watts.

Sure you can use it. Just be sure to set the gain properly and you're rocking. BTW, two 3-ohm subs connected in parallel will create a 1.5 ohm net load, not 2-ohms.

Thanks DYohn!

I was thinking 2 8ohm subs bridged above instead of remembering that they are 2 3ohm subs of course. Thanks Again.
