How would I wire these subs up?? Alright, I have a few questions. I have a 10" eclipse titanium in a custom ported box that is built into the rear hatch area well...and I have two 8" Rockford fosgate P2's in my sail panels.
Im gonna be picking up a 4 channel amp real soon. Right now, nothing is hooked up, and I still have a JVC deck to install as well...my question is this...
The eclipse sub is a DVC 4 ohm sub, and the rockfords are a SVC 2 ohm sub....how would I wire this up to a 4 channel amp?? Im most likely going to be bridging the eclipse sub since they can handle all the power you can give them. I had a Hifonics Zues 1000 watt, 2 channel amp hooked up to it last year, and it was retarded loud....it made my hatch glass flex....I already have JVC speakers in the car as well, running off the stock monsoon amp which im not going to be touching.

i would say wire the 10" in series, for 4 ohm bridge. And then just use the 2 remaining channels for each sub. Most quality 4 channel amps are 2 ohm stable and 4 ohm bridged.

a 4 channel amp probably isn't best suited for your setup. You can only wire the subwoofers as a 2ohm load which means bridging 2 channels on the amp won't work unless you find one that is 2ohm stable when bridged. Wiring the 6.5" subs to the other 2 channels isn't a problem. Why don't you just pick up a 4 channel amp and a monoblock amp and ditch the monsoon. You might as well do it right the first time around or run the 6.5" subs off of the monsoon since they are SVC 2ohm and buy a monoblock amp to run the 10". If you don't like how it sounds, then get cheap 4 channel amp to run the other speakers.
