Is this possible? 1- DVC 4 ohm sub to this 4-channel amp

I have an ARC Audio 4150 xxk, whats the best way to run this & what wattage would I get out of it? Heres the PDF diagram of the connections and settings on the amp, http://www.arcaudio.com/archives/XXK%20PDF's/4150.pdf
This is the amps specs http://www.sonicelectronix.com/viewitem.php?id=6287&show_tab=1
Thanks!

You can throw those specs out the window. Mine does~135x4 @4...Yes, you can run a dvc4 sub off it. Not sure how to set it up, I use it for front stage.

Yes, you can... but it's a waste of a nice frontstage amp.

Bridge the top 2 channels, send it to one 4 ohm coil. Bridge the bottom 2 channels, send it to the other 4 ohm coil. Will be rated at 640 wRMS.

The ARC was running the frontstage and most likely will again, gonna try an Alpine MRP-f550 4-channel on the frontstage. Just wanna put the 640w on the sub, instead of the Kicker ZX400.1 that is pushing it now, to see how the Alpine sounds, comparatively speaking. This is just a temporary setup till I can afford the subs I'm gonna run on a D9, waiting not-so patiently on the side.

Thanks for that info, by the way! I'm gonna hook it up tonight, & see what's up! May be disappointed, who knows, might sound good. I was under the impression that the ARC could push 335x2 bridged, with the 3- 30amp fuses. Idk

What about this idea... bi-amp the sub with the Kicker ZX-400.1 & the Alpine MRP-550? If it is possible, how do you wire it?

Bad idea I'm guessing? Haha! Oh well.. worth a try

the only time you want to run 2 amps on the same sub (strapped or bridging module) you will want to use 2 identical amps. Some amps out there have the same exact boards as others but different manufacturers, and still i wouldn't strap two of them together.

Aight, well I had heard of bi-amping, but didnt know the details. Thanks!

actually that's not what i know as bi-amping. Bi-amping is say if your running a component set, using one amp to drive a certain range of frequencies and a second amp to drive the rest of the audible frequencies. some x-overs have this feature built in where you can do this simply by removing a jumper and self powering each speaker/tweeter through a xover.

Learn something every day on here! Thanks man!
