Bridged at the amp and at the speaker (dual voice coil), = 1 ohm. Most amps are NOT 1 ohm stable, most rockford amps are. -P. _____________________________ (in reply to Mthd11) Post #: 3

A DVC will give you some options but you can also have too many options that would not match the amp you have. What are you wanting amp/sub wise? (in reply to joeybutts) Post #: 5
