I have a 4 channel amplifier, that's 2ohm stable when bridged. It gives out 4x140 @ 4 ohm and 2 x 360W @ 4 ohm. I'm going to use his amplifier to run a front stage and a small subwoofer in the rear.

Is it possible to use one 4 ohm DVC subwoofer and connect each coil to their own speaker terminal?

Would the result be the same if I just bridged two of amplifier termials and wired the subwoofer to 8 ohm?

I've been told it's not a good thing to do, but never understood why.

I've done it myself and didn't have a problem.

could always wire the sub to 2 ohm and bridge off of two channels. What sub are we talking about, what's it's RMS rating?

*assuming you meant 2X360 @ 2 ohm

why not wire the sub parallel and achieve the 2 ohms mono you need?

I've been told it's not a good thing to do, but never understood why.

Because there isn't a reason. It's perfectly fine.

I would guess he meant to say that the amplifier is not 2ohm stable bridged.

Yes, you can.

Sorry guys, I meant it's not stable @ 2 ohm when bridged.

Ok thanks for the info, I'll just wire it then to 8 ohm. :)
