What is the best way to wire a dual 4-ohm voice coil subwoofer to a 2-channel 2-ohm (4-ohm stable bridged) amp

Question:
Kicker Solo-Baric L5 - 12" subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils
Rockford Fosgate Punch P550.2 amplifier

Car audio video?


When the voice coils are wired in parallel the woofer presents a 2 ohm load. When the voice coils are wired in series the woofer presents an 8 ohm load. In addition, each coil may be connected to a different amplifier channel and each channel will see a 4 ohm load.

That amplifier is not a good match for a single subwoofer with dual 4-ohm voice coils. However, if I were doing it I'd wire the sub for an 8-ohm load, then bridge the amp to run it. This is the best of a set of bad options.

If you wire one 4-ohm voice coil to each channel, you'll get about the same amount of power as above, but it would be more difficult to wire up and easier to accidentally wire the voice coils out of phase. If you wire the sub for 2 ohms, and bridge the amp, you run the risk of overheating the amplifier and damaging it.

Running each coil to each channel isn't recommended as the slightest differences in component values of each channel can cause uneven heating of the coil and cause it to warp.
