PFFFT!!! I fart in your general direction. Ok, just kidding...but
seriously now:
Punch, depending on what brand of sub it's probably a 4ohm single voice coil
driver. If hooked up by itself to the amp in a bridged configuration you
should be fine. You'll be able to eek by with more power from the amp
actually. Additionally, with a single sub setup there's really not too much
to worry about in the way of impedance, one driver is the same load hooked
up just about any way you can think of. So, that being said... when you
hook the sub up, follow the bridged connections (usually pos on L and neg on
R) and set the crossover for LPF at about 80-90 HZ and adjust your gain so
that you achieve max volume without distortion at the same time as your
other 4 speakers. Good Luck and enjoy that new sub.
