thanks!

 

Assuming the amp is 2x250W RMS into 4 ohms, that would make it 1x500W RMS into 4 ohms and 1x250W RMS into 8 ohms, at least 50W less then is needed to properly drive that sub to it's full potential, and although 250W into that sub @ 8 ohms would sound pretty good, [even with that amp] however, with only 250W there will be no "dynamic head room", [power when you need it].

If your not looking to rattle the mirrors on the guys car beside you, then the above will work and sound pretty good, if your looking for something to "crank" get another amp, you could try and wire the VCs in parallel for a 2 ohm load and be very careful with the amps gain, start all the way down, 1000W RMS, [again take that with a grain of salt] would hurt a 300W speaker. 94

 

i appreciate the suggestion fcm! i think i'll play it safe..
