    no that is an 8 ohm mono load. your amp is not 2 ohm mono stable.

    you could just wire each coil to a ch.the amp will run in stereo,but you need to have a digital volt meter to make sure both channel are putting out the same power

    okay well im pretty lost now
    im planning on buying a 2 channel 480x1 rms @ 4 ohms bridged...im just trying to make sure that that amount of wattage would be safe for the 500rms of my sub with 4 ohm voice coil

    if it is i will come back for wiring questions after i get it in the mail

    i think he said double.......i think?

    if so your sub cant be wired to a single 4 ohm load.

    only 2 ohm mono,8 ohm mono,or just 2 reg 4 ohm stereo.
    1 coil to each channel of your 2 ch amp.

    ok..your sub can NOT be wired into a 4 ohm mono load.

    if it were a single voice coil sub then yes it would work fine.

    what you need to find is an amp that will be able to handle a 2 ohm mono load.

    so if you havent already got that amp.then you want to get a mono (1 ch) amp.those are 2 ohm mono stable.

    oh okay.suppsoeably the amp i have now (directed A502) is bridged at 4 ohms
    so i thought it would work like that
    but umm my budget is around $90-100 after shipping and stuff if not more than 400 rms then i was gonna get the boss gt1000M 400 rms mono at 2 ohms $95 shipped


    okay but i just found out about a different profile amp

    Profile HA1000M 500rms x 1 @ 2 ohms mono channel about the same price as the boss

    so im pretty set between the two but i need to know which would be better.becuase i want the most power i can get,but without putting the sub into danger
