So do I want the D2 or the D4? I plan on running bridged. Common sense tells me to get the 4ohm sub, but I am not known for having good common sense.

you can use your amp bridged and just make the wiring go from 4 omh to 2 omhz since its a dual coil. Check out crutchfield

I know you're trying to help me, but you are confusing me. Do I get the bestbuy sub or the amazon sub!

so this? This says 4ohm mono bridge amp, like I have. And the 2ohm DVC sub best buy is selling, wired like as shown below would be the ideal setup. Correct?

Technical question.

I have an older version of this amp. Same specs. So I can get this sub and run it 2 x 100 watts into 2 ohms, or bridge the amp and run the coils in series for 1 x 200 watts into 4 ohms.

Here's my question. Same total power either way, stereo separation doesn't really matter for a sub in my tunk, so is there any advantage to one option over the other?

The difference is negligible.

Run it bridge not from 2 different source. You will screw up the coils since they will be vibrating at a slightly different frequency. Get the amazon one that can bridge 200w.

I have a pioneer one that is a 4/3 channel amp. 800w total 75w rms x4 @ 4ohm, and bridgable 200w @4ohm. Since the subwoofer is 2ohm you can use the 4ohm and wire it a certain way so that it has the same impedance

The sub is a dual 2 ohm ( see rear has 4 posts ) you can either do 1 ohm or 4 ohms, it's easier to find a mono amp that does it's power at 1 ohm than 4 ohms. or you can buy a pair and run 2 ohm ect.

dont worry , you don't need any of these things in your life and especially not in your car .

these wiring diagrams should help any new ICE guys, or old guys like me who forgot everything they learned from their childhood

If u r running only one sub You want d2. 2ohm dual voice coils that u will wire in a series to total 4ohm.

It took me 2 mins looking at amazon to figure out what else you would need. This is a decent sub, but this is just a speaker nothing more. If you are just beginning you are going to need a box(case) to put it and a amp to power it and some wires to hook it unless you have a friend or are going to pay someone to install it for you.

So look into at least a ~$200 investment and that's not including installation and headaches. I am pretty much in the same boat as you a major novice. Personally I think i will wait for a deal with a box or something. This to me at most would be a novelty so I really don't want to spend a lot of money.

Should fit in the doors.
