Especially when we're talking at least double the power:thumbup:

Now, should I run the amp in stereo and push 250rms to each coil or should I run the coils in parallel and bridge the amp? I'm thinking 250 to each coil would be perfect.

For a couple reasons. First one being that I came up on that Lanzar amp for hella cheap, I only paid $155 for it brand new so I figured I'd upgrade the subs since I got the amp so cheap.

This shit sounds like another language to me but I would say Setup number 2 from what I know already. I got to sit down and do some reading.

Id bridge the amp. running the coils is parallel will effectively lower the impedence. Its going to be more stable at 2 ohms.

If I run it bridged at 2ohms, that'll be too much power for the sub, it's supposed to be run at 500rms, so If I run each coil in stereo, that'll be 250rms to each coil which equals 500rms, sounds like the way to go
