Can you be a little more specific on which sub?

There are apparently a 9 different comp models.

For the wiring aspect you will want to wire the subs in a 2ohm load. For the best sound and most amount of power.

And since the amp is a 4 channel amp you will want to bridge the channels together. It should explain the process more in the manual.


And as for the wire gauge I would recommend at least 4 gauge. And run the fuse on the power wire.


Hope that helps.

One last thing if you want clean "hitting" bass keep the box sealed but if you want really loud bass port the box. (And another trick for louder bass is to fill the box with pillow stuffing.)
