uhh u will be defiantly underpowering it 4 2 reasons...
1.)its a sony amp
2.)in your case, u can only wire to 1 or 4 ohms and that sonys not 1 ohm stable...
so yes thats the proper wiring

ok, thanks, i wont be underpowering it enough to damage it will I? On the site it says

"... and will reach full excursion in most applications with between 600 and 700 watts."

Wont it be giving it 500?

nope...maybe 300-350, and underpowering it will not hurt it at all...overpowering will

i quote jonathan a while back
"you can give any given woofer 1 watt for a million years and it still wont blow...."

but when you underpower a sub most people often drive the amp into clipping, and clipping kills subs.

Thanks for all your help Dan The man. I got it in, my what used to be my trunk, and it rumbles my car. Now its time to save and ungrade to a h/o alt and the big 3.

My amp has a subsonic filter and has a protection mode, would these help to prevent it from clipping?
