shallow 12's arent even as good as regular 10's. the only time shallows are ever good is in a regular cab where space is extremely limited. the only thing a shallow sub is better than is regular speakers.

RH do not get shallow subs. you have the room to get regular ones...do it right. shallows dont put out near the range or volume regular subs do.

sorry to disagree, but i had regular 12s, and these shallow 10" p3s sound ten times better and crisper in my quad cab.

that could fall under the argument of which sounds better a 10" or a 12" sub...LOL

you definitely want to bridge the amp, the question is do you wire the sub in series or parallel to get it to a 2 ohm load. I think its parallel

RMS Power Range :

* RMS Power @ 4 Ohm: 110W x 2
* RMS Power @ 2 Ohm: 175W x 2
* RMS Power @ 4 Ohm Bridged Mono: 350W

IT DOESENT GIVE ME SPECS ON 2OHM BRIDGED ?

I WOULD THINK 2 OHM BRIDGED WOULD BE 350 PLUS WATTS ?

unfortunately that means that it is not 2 ohm stable in bridged mode. I've read its not good, but you could hook up just one voice coil...LOL

2ohm will give you the most power. BUT, it seems that the amp won't do 2ohm in bridged mode.

4ohm bridged.......won't work with the amp, as its a dual 4 setup. you can get 2ohm or 8ohm from it.

you can't hook up only 1 coil on a dvc sub either, thats not good.
