I am putting all new speakers in my boat, and new amplifiers. A few questions.... <BR> <BR>1. i have a rockford fosgate 600.1bd amp that i am going to use for my sub. my sub is a boston acoustic g5 12 inch... my amp has outputs for 2 speakers, but it is a mono amp? do i need a dual voice coil sub and run the "a" channel to one vc and the "b" channel to the other? the instruction booklet shows a diagram for running 1 speaker, and it is just hooked up to the "a" terminals. then would i run the dual vc's parallel inside the box? or should i just get a single vc sub? my goal is for the amp to see a 2ohm load. <BR> <BR>i'm working on this for the rest of the week, and i'm sure i'll have some more questions... i'll post some pics when i'm done, or possibly tonight if i get a chance. <BR> <BR>thanks in advance.. and if i forgot to post any pertinent info, let me know and i'll post it asap. <BR> <BR>oh, i also have a kicker 400 watt mono amp... would this be a better amp for this sub?

you guys are awesome.... thanks for the help!!! <img src="http://www.wakeworld.com/MB/Discus/clipart/crazy.gif" border=0>

I would not connect the voice coil to different outputs on the amp. I would parallel in the box.

C.R.- The Boston sub you have comes in either a single or dual VC configuration. G5124 (Single) or G51244 (Dual VC). You want a G51244 to get a 2 ohm load on your amp. If your woofer is a G5124 then go back to your shop and buy a G51244 SPS (Soft parts system) and you can make your sub a DVC (Dual Voice Coil) sub. Then you will simply run a positive and a negative speaker lead from your amp to your sub and follow the directions on the sub for a 2 ohm load. This means that you will be using both sure set fuses in the woofer. Then start rocking. Remember that your sub only needs 1 cubic foot of airspace in a sealed box and for extra punch you can add a GTR passive radiator. <BR> <BR>Cheers <BR>Scott
