Anyone ? ?

WHEN/IF I get my Soop back from the dealers (in 1 piece ? ),
I want to get my old Sub/box into it.

I have one of those ~5-6" self-amp'd subs in it at the moment.
It's VERY good for it's size and VERY easy to install (in-line in head unit
connectors - piece of p**s)

But it hasn't (understandably) got the low down BBBMMMM !

My old one (from RS Turbo) is only a Kenwood 12" in a cheapish box but
EASILY enough 'noise' for my taste. I've got to hack the box down,
or build one MUCH smaller (not concerned with critical quality).

CAN I run the 12" AND a 8" from the one amp: it's a 2-channel (bridgeable)
can/do I put one on each channel (1 as left, 1 as right ? ? )
[or will this produce WEIRD music - shouldn't, should it ? ]
[or will the 2 different speakers KILL the amp ? ]
or how do I 'MONO'-them-up together ? ?
Don't want ANOTHER/2nd amp really.

OR, shall I just leave the self-amp'd in the boot with the 12" ? ? ?

Opinions please.......

WHO has WHAT in theirs ? ?

You cant really run 2 subs of a 2 chan amp they way you intend on doing so.

You should however, be able to run them in series. Should be load of stuff on the net out how to do it. I just tried drawing a diagram but it looked shite!!! :(

Don't worry Barry,

My wiring is liable to end up looking shittier than your diagram
would have anyway ! !
