Get a dual 4 ohm voice coil....And run it in stereo with the amp (200X2). Or get a single 4 ohm voice coil sub but bigger than the one u were talking about. More power and run it with the amp bridged.

well if i wanted 2 10 inch subs, 300 RMS each what would i need? for each sub?????

i thought that if you get 2 subs with my 2-channel amp, i would need 2 dual,4 ohm subs...

and if i wanted 1 sub i would need a dual, 2 ohm sub, abd remember my amp is a 2-channel... the specs are above.
