Thanks for the help, gents. I'm rigging up an independent sound system that runs of leisure batteries (camper build).
Using an on off on switch so the sub can be shared by two amplifiers with the 'off' acting as a safeguard to stop one amp feeding into the other. Two feeds from the primary has complicated things a little..

sub is fairly useless. Not sure I would bother. Plus, do you want that much base on a camp site ?
I guess im old

I wired my sub into a independent mono amp under the passenger seat, you really can't much out of it before it distorts... that's probably why it's set so low on the factory amp.
I want to replace it with something aftermarket and low-profile but not sure what yet.

Haha I only ever wild camp so noise is never a concern
I wired up and tbh I'm really impressed with the sub. No distortion and much louder than the land rover amp will allow.
I've just gone for a basic setup, D speakers and sub wired to little amp from Amazon. Just for movies and music in the evenings.

It could always be better of course. I've seen a few others have replaced it with AM. Doable but for what I need, it's ample.

As it's duel coil, did you wire it in parallel or series? Perhaps I've wired it wrong
I'm fascinated to see your camper build!

I took positive from one pair and negative from the other and then looped the remaining two. I think that would be series??
Haven't tried any other configuration yet.waiting for a second 2PDT switche to arrive before I finalise everything.
