Hello
I recently purchased another Subwoofer to go with the one I owned previously. After installing it I found out that my Amp is not powerful enough to drive both at the levels I want it. I purchased the following amp, but due to the power on it I need to know whether I should wire the subs in series or parralel. I am fairly sure I can wire it in series but due to the size on the amp I don't want to blow the subs. Any help would be great. I already checked the 12volt.com but I just wanted some reassurance from some experienced people.
