Chevykid1969, you will have to run that amp in stereo if you use that sub. Bridging that amp on dual 4-ohm voice coils will take the impedance level too low and burn up the amp. You could go with a single 8-ohm sub, bridge that amp and it will get 400 watts. If I were you, I would look for a sub with a higher sensitivity rating, too. 83 db is pretty low. Keep in mind that every 3db equals a doubling of sound output.

I dont mean to argue or be a pest but if you bridge an 8 ohm sub you will get 8 ohm mono. I you bridge a 4 ohm sub you will get 4 ohm mono. If you run a dual voice 4 ohm coil then and only then you will get to 2 ohm load. Most all amps will handle a 4 ohm mono load. If you get to 2 ohm mono you will need a high current amp which will usually handle a 1 ohm load.
