I have a 2/3/4 cannel amp that runs 4 x 100W or 2 x 222W (4ohm) and two 8" Kicker CompVR's (4ohm). What is the best way to wire this. Should i run both in series off of one channel or each on there own channel?

Thanks

what is you amplifier and what is the model number. that would be helpfull to answer your question. so any one helping you can look up the spec's. but without knowing for sure id just hook it up 1 sub per channel.

ahh see now those ratings you gave were max ratings not rms. i would bridge the four channels and make it a 2 channel. and thats only 80 watts rms. per channel.     always go with the rms rating, max ratings are just a "concession" to sell amps.

on the amplifier the output for the speaker terminals it should tell you. or its in the a manual its a matter of combining the L&R channels.
