New member Username: Cjb232sPost Number: 1 Registered: Mar-04 | I know questions like this get asked daily, but I just want to be sure.... I have an audiobahn aw1508q (http://mainstreet-caraudio.com/car/audiobahn/aw1508q.htm) and an AUDIOBAHN A8002T (http://www.sounddomain.com/sku/ABNA8002T). How do you guys recommend me wiring this up. I was thinking that the proper way would be to wire the sub in series and then bridge the amp??? Is this correct or no? Thoughts and suggestions would be appreciated... THanks, Cory Biram |

Hook the subs up to the amplifier, one sub per channel, correctly, and see how it sounds. |
