Sub Clarify Wiring Q

[HuiDaddy]

hey guys im sorta confused on how to wire subs to my amp. i am planning on bridging two channels on my Rockford Fosgate 600a4 amp. so the total amperage would be 300 watts comming out of the channel. i have the other two channels running my front components. The manual says that when briding two channels into one, there needs to be only a 4 ohm minimum.

Is is possible to have a dual voice coil 4 ohm driver hooked up to just show a 4 ohm load into the amp? i know if i parallel the dual voice coils it will result in a 2 ohm load and if i connect the voice coils in series it'll cause me to have an 8 ohm load, but i dont want an 8 ohm load because it'll be less power and not as good sounding am i right? what am i to do. i do not want to add two subs to my set up... Am i just better off with a Single Voice Coil 4 ohm subwoofer?

the subwoofer i am looking into is the Inifinity Kappa Perfect. i have heard many good things about this sub. i am runnning Inifinity Kappa Components up front and i am pleased. any other suggestions for the brand of sub?

If you need a 4ohm load then you'll you'll either need another sub, or a single VC 4ohm sub... I don't know that I'd recomend just hooking up a single VC on a DVC sub...

you can't hook up one voice coil.

but what you could do is get an rca splitter and unplug the rear channels of your rca then add the splitter in so that the two rear channels are getting a mono signal. then you can just use the two rear channels (which will have the same output with no fading between them) and each of them can power one of the voice coils at 4 ohms.

coo beans guys. i think im just gonna save a few bucks and go for the Infinity Kappa Perfect 10.1 single voice coil. There's a killer deal through sounddomain.com. they match any price and beat it another 5%. Etronics has the sub for cheaper, in fact, etronics has a lotta things cheaper than sounddomain and so i'm just gonna have sounddomain match etronics and i'll get the sub for about $110 if all goes well. thanks for the quick help.
