[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8861676, member: 689267"] Dual 4 ohms in parallel is 2 ohms for each sub. Two, 2 ohms subs in in parallel are 1 ohm, and Two 2 ohm subs wired in series is 4 ohms to the amplifier. Each sub-wired in series gives you 2 8ohm subs, wired in parallel to the amp is 4ohms. You can feed the amplifier either a 1-ohm or a 4-ohm load in your situation. You want to use all the coils in both woofers. The stinger MT2001 is 1ohm rated and would provide the 1-ohm configuration of 2000 watts and the 4ohm wiring configuration, 800 watts. Seeing that the combined total in either situation is as much or much more than the subs can likely take, I'd get the MT2001, wire each sub's 2 coils in series, and then the two subwoofers in parallel to the amp. 800 watts to run cool at 4ohms, never breaking a sweat, and more power later should you be inclined to upgrade your subs. Win, win at less than half what 2 of the alpine amps would cost you. [/QUOTE]
