[QUOTE="Jepalan, post: 8139318, member: 655519"] You have a 5-channel amp, so the 2 sets of Polks will get connected to 4 channels of the amp normally. You can't "bridge" these outputs because you don't have enough channels, so there is no "ohms decision" to make here. The sub will connect to the 5th channel. Unfortunately this sub isn't a good match to your amp. You would have been better off with a DVC 4-ohm sub for this amp, then you could get max power out by running 2 ohms load. That said, there is only one "right" way to connect this sub to your amp. The voice-coils should be wired in series for 4-ohms. [/QUOTE]
