I have an Audiobahn A8002v amp and (1) "12 KICKER Solobaric L7 w/ 2ohm DVC's . Which is the best way to wire this sub? Is it best to wire each voice coil separately to run 400 watts x 2 @ 2ohms or bridged 800 watts x 1 @ 4 ohms? Is there an advantage with either wiring option or just basically the same?

2 ohm stereo and 4 ohm bridged are going to be the same output. with stereo mode having a slightly better damping factor( amps control of woofer cone motion)

If all the channels are running at the same impedence, why would this be?

This can explain it a lot better than I can
