I have a aura stage 2 amp I'm going to use for my sub.Here are the specs.2 Channel Amplifier 2 x 75 watts into 4 ohms, 1 x 225 watts bridged mono into 4 ohms, 0.1% THD from 20 to 20kHz. 85 dB signal-to-noise ratio. 20 Hz - 20 kHz frequency response.
My question is which is best, run a single voice coil sub and bridge the amp or use a dual voice coil sub and run it in 2 channel mode. I will be using a 12" sub but haven't decided on the brand.

Re: sub amp Q (elo240)
Either will be fine. Single 4ohm, dual 8ohm or dual 2ohm. All end up with the same impedence.
Re: sub amp Q (Looneybomber)
Yea I understand the ohms but which one gives me the best performance from the amp?

Re: sub amp Q (elo240)
They all give the same performance from the amp. What matters is how each speaker will perform. So if you want the most power out of your amp pick a woofer with either a single 4ohm coil, dual 8's or dual 2's. Your doors are wide open to possibilities.
Check out the Creative Sounds SDX-10. It's an excellent buy for the money. Also the Exodus Audio Shiva-X is on sale. Unfortunately, off the top of my head, I don't know what VC's they have.
