[QUOTE="drummer_punk82, post: 261508, member: 543920"] Well I'm not completely sure about a 4-channel amp, but I have my two 4ohm DVC subs hooked up at 2 ohms. 2 ohms is usually a good way to go. You have three options: 1) wire each sub's VC's in parralel for 2 ohms and run each one from a separate channel on the amp (not bridged) 2) wire each VC in parallel (2 ohms) then put both subs in series for 4 ohms total and wire to the amp bridged for 2 ohms. 3) wire each VC in series (8 ohms) then parallel the two subs, which also gives 4 ohms, then to the bridged amp. I hope that helps. Check the manual on your amp to see what it puts out at 2 ohms. If it doesn't do any good just hook them up at 4 ohms. [/QUOTE]
