:wavey:

:wavey: :oh: :thinking: i already talked to ya

just post your question.

Aight WiLL, here goes

I have a Fosgate HX2 DVC 4ohm sub
the amp is a Lanzar OPTIdrive 500.2

sub specs:
500rms
1000max

amp specs:
250rms x 2 @4ohms
450rms x 2 @2ohms
900rms x 1 @4ohms mono

How should I run the sub?
I was thinking 4ohms stereo.
Will running the coils like that ruin the sub? If yes, please explain.

i would do 2OHM and use 1 ch of the amp. itll be getting 450watts, which is only slightly off the RMS of the sub.

i have those subs.... i blew them both out one time too

i'd just run it wired in parralell to 1 channel. i've done a setup like that before. 99% of the time, bass isn't stereo so you won't need to worry. and you can buy the same sub again and run that one off the other channel :thumbup:

A_D thats how i blew mine out.... man did it hit like a bish before they went though :)

:rolleyes: just because its wired in parrallel to 1 channel doesn't mean its going to blow.
**** i really don't want to get into this
your setup will be fine
