DVC noob

i'm looking to get a tad bit of bass in my car, but I'm noob when it comes to DUAL VOICE COILS.

Here's the sub i'm looking to get:


Power Handling: 300 watts RMS
2” 4-Layer ASV Voice Coil
Dual 4 Ohm
2 or 8 Ohm Operation


And the amp I've got is 300 watt mono.

Is this sub going to be extremely underpowered? If I want to use the amp i already have, should I just go the single coil route?

And in terms of wiring:

Amp(+) to Coil 1 (+) to Coil 2 (+)
Amp (-) to Coil 1 (-) to Coil 2(-) ??


Thanks guys

pretty much right, make sure your amp can go down to 2 ohms, most mono's do but just to be sure

if you are just getting one of the subs you most likely get full power out of the amp (I would guess its 300wrms @ 2 ohms), but if you are getting 2, you will be wiring it for either 1 or 4 ohms, and since I doubt your amp will do 1 ohm, you won't get full power out of it.

As far as wiring it goes: http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp is your friend
