In order to get down to 4ohms ,you need another sub just like the one you have. If you want it down to 2ohms you need 3 more just like you have. To get the most out of that one sub you need an amp that pushes twice the amount of rms power that your sub is rated at. The reason for this is that your sub is an 8ohm and what ever amp you get will only push half the amount of power that it is rated at 4ohm.

OR, you can buy a stereo amp, one that will give you the desired amount of power bridged into 8 ohms. This will be the SAME as a 4 ohm rating times 2... i.e. if the woofer is rated 200 watts, you need a stereo amp that is 100 watts times 2 at a 4 ohm load, and it must be bridgeable...

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."
