Wiring 2ohm sub w/ 4ohm amp

[Jacob86 0]

My friend wants me to put these in his truck and I want to get everything out of them both. The sub is single 2 ohms 300 watts rms, and the amp is 300 watts bridged at 4 ohms and 150 wattsx2 at 2ohms. Is there some way i can wire it to get the 300 watts or is he going to have to deal with the 150 or get new equipment?

Thanks

If you have another driver that is the same you could wire both to a 4 ohm load. But if only one then its what you said already.

It also helps to know what the sub and amp are. Helps to know all wiring variations the amp is capable of.

He is going to have to wire each sub to its on channel and they will only see 150watts, because if you try and bridge it the sus will see a 1 ohm load and will kill that amp. So just run them on 150watts for now until he gets another amp/subs or whatever he decides.

Thats what I thought I just wanted to make sure.

The amp is the Kenwood KAC-829 and the sub is the pioneer TS-SW1001S2

This is going under a bench seat in a Colorado so another sub is out of the question.

Thanks for the quick replys

look on ebay for amps like the rf 300.1, mtx 250d, bp300.1, etc.. they all should do 300+ @ 14 volts at 2 ohms. and sometimes can be picked up for a good price.

it'll go up im sure but maybe not too much, ive had one of these it was a good amp.
