Wait. What voice coils are you're subs?

sounds fine to me as long as the amp can handle 2ohm stereo load. A better idea tho would be to wire the subs up in series to 8ohm, then wire the subs together in parallel to get a 4ohm mono load

its a 4 channel amp, that wont work

if your amp can handle 2ohms bridged to 2 channels, one on each then ok, what amp?

oops, well then it'll have to be 8ohm bridged mono x2 unless the amp can handle 2ohm bridged mono.

OP what amp is it? if its RF it'll be able to handle 2ohm bridged mono for sure

im gonna take a guess that it cant handle 2ohms bridged

bets?

2 ohms will likely smoke the amp.

8 ohms will work, you just won't get any power.
