s2 or s4 eD sub?
i have a Sony XM-2252HX Amp
http://www.teamrocs.com/reviews/amplifiers/XM2252HX.htm
which eD sub (s2 or s4) should I get to match it?
also, how would I tune it?
and finally would this fit in the spare tire?
sorry for the noob questions.

single 2 ohm is what you need
the specs says it will do the same wattage at 2 ohm and 4 ohm but id do the 2 ohm
tuning is the last step. Tuning depends on your box/box size/ placement of the sub/ other speakers.

NO......you want the S4...that amp is a 2 channel amp so when you bridge it the 4 will drop to a 2 ohm load. If you have 2 ohm sub and bridge it then that will drop it to a 1ohm load which that amp CANNOT handle.

Not to mention..that amp is pushing double the recommended RMS power for the SQ10 (is that the sub you're getting?)....if so then I would make sure you keep that gain at 1/2 or less as to not overpower the sub.

thats the amp I already have and I already got the stealth box made for the ed 10" sub. Yea I know its 600w which is double the ed sub, but thats why I came here for help in tuning it so i wont blow the sub. lol
sooo s4 it is?

Burn a tone disk to what ever Hz level you want the sub to play at......I used a 50 Hz tone........put it in the player withthe gain all the way down........turn deck up to 75% of the volume.
Use the formula of the amount of watts you want to goto the sub x the ohms and then take the square root of that........that will give you the AC voltage that needs to goto the sub from the amp.
Use a vilage tester and put it on the pos and neg terminals and turn up the gain till you get the AC volts form the mathmatical figure........
that will give you a non clipped signal up to 75% of the stereo volume.........that is my understanding at least and what I did with my amp and speakers and they are clear and loud with no clipping.
