Serious amp/sub wiring question from noob...

[madsedan]

I bought the Memphis PR124d sub which is the 12" 4 ohm dual voice coil sub, and a sealed enclosure. I am going to go back next weekend and spend about $250 for a Memphis monoblock class d amp that I believe makes 250 watts. I have an older MTX rt-a250 50watss rms x 2 that I went ahead and hooked up to the sub for some bass for a few days and it sounds ok, but I wonder if I have it hooked up right. I currently have 1 channel going to one side of the sub and one channel going to the other.

-Is this OK for a couple days until I get the "right" amp?

-What is the best way to hook up a 2 channel amp to a 4 ohm dual voice coil sub, or am I damaging the sub and I should just unhook it?

Dude, if you want a memphis, you can pick up slightly used 1000d's (1000 watts) for $200 - $300. Look on ebay, and at car audio forum, in the for sale section........

Also, you may want to look into Cadence A7's or Crossfire 1000d's...they are both great amps, and can be had for $300 or less. The Cadence is the most powerful of all three...it puts out 1400 watts at 1 ohm, or 800 watts at 2 ohms.
