ok well since you guys know the Tempest is falling apart(and Adire themselves i guess), i am going to get a Type R... actually here in about an hour im getting one.. for around $160, brand new ofcourse..so i will let you guys know how it sounds and all that.. thanks!... oh and i was looking at the hook ups, and im sure i can wire it up when i get it, but can anyone put a pic in here show me how to get a 2ohm load using a dvc4ohm Type R.. and i know to wire it in parallel..etc.. just need a quick pic because the Type has +-+- posts on each side.. thanks, and if this doesnt make much sense, sorry, i am in a hurry

they just 2 sets of terminals on each side to make it easier to wire just like abahn.

Just wire the +'s on the sub to the + on the amp and the -'s on the amp to the - on the amp.

What he said, except change the second amp to sub.
Just wire the +'s on the sub to the + on the amp and the -'s on the sub to the - on the amp.
