quick question

i you have a dual 4 ohm subwoofer and you wire it in parallel then you make it a 2 ohm. Now when you order the amp do you go by the 4 ohm RMS rating or the 2 ohm RMS rating?

personally I would still go 4 to be safe. but amps don't ask for ohm levels they only offer channels and amperage. maybe you saw 4 channel and 2 channel and thought it was referring to the OHMs instead of the number of speakers you could hook up to it

When you are trying to match an amp to a sub, you match up the rms with lowest configuration that you want to use.

Example
Say yuu have 2 2ohm DVC subs rated at 400rms
they can wired to present a 8ohm, 4 ohm, or 2ohm load so the amp that you would be looking for would have to be 2 or 1 ohm stable and able to produce 800rms

tbowsaveo
For your case a single 4ohm DVC sub can be wired in an 8 ohm or a 2ohm
So you can match the amp according to 2ohm rating because the only way to run it at 4ohm would be to just run one of the coils.

I hope this helps

p.s if you are looking at power acoustik amps check out Kole Audio(same family cheaper price), also if you want a really efficient amp look into O2 Audio (75% of there amps are rated at 12.5V not 14.4V).

Let me know if you have anymore questions

Well "wad-doya-know" Should have thrown that link up earlier! Hmm.. I'd still say 4
