You could do that, but what are you going to do with the other channel? Hmm...I foresee another 8A!!!

You'll probably get pretty much the same power between 8 ohm bridged and 2 ohm not bridged.

Try hooking it up both ways and see which you like best. Should be easy enough since the 8A has push-spring terminals. [/QUOTE]I'm confused immensly ! How will I run my e8a in 8ohms bridged if it's a dual 4 ohm sub ???? [/QUOTE]You run the coils in series. Read this: http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/dvc/dvcAdvantage.html

1 DVC driver with Voice Coils in Series
Connecting the two voice coils of the driver in series (+ to -) will result in the following impedance:

Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 8 Ohms

and yeah the 4 ohm stereo thing is usually not recomended ........but I've done it before (with a non bridgeable amp), it works too [img]smile.gif[/img]

It will be mono either way...trust me, don't run one subwoofer in stereo unless you can match your gains [img]smile.gif[/img]

But you can wire your VC's in parallel and hook it up to one channel of your amp, leaving the other to do nothing. This will be a 2 ohm "stereo" load (stereo is in "" because it really isn't stereo...if you had 2 subs hooked up like that then it would be....)

Or you can wire your VC's in series and bridge your amp for a 8 ohm bridged load.

last question:

will my amp be giving my sub 350 watts to a voice coil ? So 700 watts ?

no, the power is split evenly between the VC's

So if you have 350w total, that is what you are giving the subwoofer. (175w each VC)

oh **** ! I dont think thats enough...or is it ? So basically I'm using less than half the power my amp is capable of producing?
