    When designing a cage, is a front hoop and rear hoop setup better or is 2 side hoops better? I'm trying to settle an argument.

    I'm gonna say front and rear because you are more likely to roll over sideways than endo or some ****.

    Why does that matter?

    I don't have a definite answer but I would lean towards constructing a cage with "two side hoops" creating your a pillar.

    I think the real answer is " its all relative to the overall design of the cage.

    All depends on the potential loads. Most go b hoop and bent a-pillars to the b pillar. Others us a b hoop and halo with a pillar tie ins

    I could draw something up, but I don't think it would help haha hard to explain.

    is that a monoblock amp? something about your setup doesnt look right.

    I'm not sure what a monoblock amp is, but am guessing it's a non-stereo amp. I don't believe my amp is a monoblock as it has right and left outputs (2)

    a monoblock amp is an amp with only one set of outputs. if that is a 2 channel amp, you don't want to bridge it. Bridging it will present a 4 ohm load on the amp, and you will have about half the power as you would running it at two ohms. If the amp is two ohm stable, just run it red-red black-black, red-red black-black.

    let's make this easier. what kind of amp are you using, i can draw you a sweet paint diagram

    Huh? So you are saying bridging the channels, thus reducing resistance will cut your power output? Go re read your physics book.

    Travis find out what the amp is stable at then wire you voice coils and amp to match. Wiring them in parallel will be have the ohms of one coil, in series will add the ohms together. Then run to the amp. Same thing goes for the amp outputs, bridged will reduce ohms at the amp. Too little resistance gives you a lot of bang but can over heat your amp.

    Blue box = amp. Output on amp says 4ohm 2x300

    Amp says 4ohm, so I guess just go with that? No idea what it would be stable at.

    You can start there. 2 ohms is normal. If you burn it up get a new one.

    Run them in series and bridge at the amp.
