Each one can be wired to 2 or 4 ohms, or as a pair they can be wired to 2 or 4 ohms? Better yet what is the voice coil configuration of each sub? Dual 4 ohm? Dual 2 ohm? Something else? Reply and we'll let you know what to do.

2 ohms will provide more power than 4 ohms by usually almost double

less resistance = more power if u wanna think about it that way

They are dual 4 and can be wired to 2 ohms each

Dual 4 means they can individually be wired to 2 or 8 ohms and together can be wired to 1 or 4 ohms.

so... i should wire the individually to two ohms since my amp isnt one ohm stable?

If one is broken, why would you want to wire them together? And your amp is broken too?

[johnson 10+ year member]
