Eclipse SW8122DVC this speaker runs at 4ohms (dual voice coil). can i run it at 1 or 2 ohm? i have a mono block 1000rms at 1 ohm but 400 at 4 ohms which is way to underpowered for this thing.

cools...that's what i needed. my amplifier runs 400@4 ohms and 600@2 ohms and that sub requires 500. thanks

 

 

well i have 2 powerbase subs there 4 ohm, i can wire them at 2 ohm?

To figure out parallel impedence
1/(1/impedence1+1/impedence2+1/impedence3 + 1/ect......)
