Can I hook a 2CH amp to a DVC sub?

I have a cheapo DVC sub and a cheapo 2CH 120w amp. Can I just hook the left and right each to one side of the sub? Or does it not work that way?

Sweet. If it is a 100w max sub, does that mean 100w each side, or 100w total?

If you like my car, check out my page: 1989 Toyota MR2 - Aaron's Toyota "baby Ferrari"

I've hit the 13's in the 1/4 now!!

depends on how cheesy the sub is.. 100w "max" could be 50wrms per coil, or it could be 10wrms per coil. what is the Ω's of each coil? you might be able to parallel up the VC's and stereo bridge the amp for more power.
