i doubt this could work, im lookin at a dual 6 ohm sub, i have a 200x2 @ 2 ohm, and 400x1 @ 4 ohm amp, is there any way to logically connect this sub to the amp and get around 400 watts rms? thanks

Well if you wire the voice coils in parallel them they will present a 3ohm load to the amp. So basically you would be looking roughly at about 300rms to your sub.

So all positives to the positive of the amp and all negitives to the negitive side of the amp.
