Thanks for the input Smile

What would be the best way to power my subs with this amp? i could wire the subs in parallel but then half my amps power is going to waste as i don't have any other speakers than need powering.

Here are the specs of my amp:

Power / channel @ 4ohm 14.4V: 130WRMS x 4
Power / channel @ 2ohm 14.4V: 190WRMS x 4
Power / bridged @ 4ohm 14.4V: 380WRMS x 2
Signal/Noise ratio: >90dB
Input sensitivity: 200mV to 5V
Low pass filter: 50 - 500Hz @ 12dB/octave
High pass filter: 50 - 500Hz @ 12dB/octave
Pass thru RCA: Yes
Dimensions: 400(L) x 258(W) x 50mm(D)

My subs are 150wrms each and are 8ohms

Any suggestions would be great, i really don't want to purchase another amp, just want to get this one going as good as possible.
