JBL GTO's

Hey guys. I've just gotten myself a set of JBL GTO's (GTO527) and was just wondering how I wire them into my 4ch to run at their advertised 2 ohms.

If they are dvc just bridge the channels together i believe and by having 2 subs it will go into 2 ohms but i am not sure since I have never had dvc subs.

they are what they are, a 2 or a 4 ohm load. the amp is what takes different load's so does you amp like 2 ohm's stereo?
how many subs do you have?
do they have 2 coils or one?
and whats your amp?

They are a single coil 2 ohm speaker,,, run them directly positive and negative to the channels on your amp. the idea of these speakers being 2ohm is to create a consistant load on your amplifier through all frequences when most 4 ohm speakers fluctuate from 4 ohms to what ever.

If you're looking for a 2 channel amp to pound those subs feast your eyes on this big boy. PM me for a price. It was amp clamped @750 per side. It will run @2 or 4ohms
