there polk audio i dont know about the voice coils how would i find out, as far as 1 0r 2 channel amp it has a place for 4 speakers (front left front right) (rear left rear right). right now i have them hooked up to the rear not bridged i think im gonna bridge them to see what it sounds like

theres no point to bridge them, to see if the speakers are 1 or 2 voice coil, look on the back of the sub and see if it has 1 place where wires connect or 2 places, if there is just one, its very simple, just positive to positive and negative to negative.

id run the speakers in series and bridge them...just for sound quality issues.... either way, the amp is going to see the same load. if u get ballsy, run them in parallel and bridge them, ull see a power increase but could damage your amp
