[QUOTE="Mooncatt, post: 8674971, member: 676968"] Yes. I'll point out this key point of the OP's post. It's apparent I'm more conservative than you with advice to a newbie. Because I don't know him personally or his ability, it's safer in general for a beginner to wire as 8-ohm than 2-ohm in his situation. Turn the gain up until you get distortion, then back it off a little to make sure you only have a clean output. That is good enough for a beginner if he's willing to accept the loss of power. No need to get out the DMM and work the math to make sure you don't blow the sub when wired 2-ohm. I also listed the pro and con of both options so he can make a more informed decision that works best for him. There's always more than one way to skin these cats. I'm sorry you find that so hard to accept. [/QUOTE]
