alright, I've asked on other forums, and they've been pretty useless so far...
ok, at the moment, I have 2 single VC subs at 4 ohm each. these are run off of a 4 channel amp, bridged setting is 4 ohm. as you all probably know, running this at bridged creates a 2 ohm load, causing my amp to overheat if run at full blast for about 30 minutes or so. there were several options to fix this, such as
"don't run it bridged"
"turn down the gain"
"replace the subs"
I'm choosing to go with the latter, but with car repairs and such, I can't afford the subs I want. however, I can get subs that are identical to mine in one of two configurations, and break even most likely (after selling my current ones). heres my question, should I go with 8 ohm subs, or 4 ohm+ 4 ohm DVC subs? I want to bridge my amp so I can use the full capacity of it like I am now, without it overheating all the time and shutting off. I know that the 8 ohm subs I would just pop in and wire the same way, and the load would just balance to 4 ohm. the DVC, well, I can figure out all the wiring legistics once I get them, but I know it's not rocket science. just dig out the old physics notes...
will either option make a difference? the difference in price is only a few dollars, so either would do, but if it makes absolutely no difference, I'm inclined to go with the 8 ohm subs just for simplicity's sake. thanks in advance,
