Confused About Sub Wiring??????

[johnrowdy 10+ year member]

I have been reading and looking at diagrams but still a bit confused as to the best way to wire up my subs???

I have 2 10W3D4 JL Audio Subs and a BOSS RT850 2 Ohm mono block amp.

If I am reading the diagrams correctly the only way to run these put my amp at a 1 ohm or 4 ohm, (pulled from Woofer WiringWizard) Is there a way to optimize a 2 ohm level?

Please help a newbie!

with those spekers your options are 1,4

You could use one sub and wire it to two ohms, but where's the fun in that?? lol

Nope, with 2 DVC4ohm subs your choices are 1ohm or 4ohm. Scrap the junk Boss amp and get a good amp that'll work at 1ohm...

That Boss amp would be hard pressed to push one of them subs.

Thanks for the response!

Would a JL 1000/1 be to much? or would a JL 500/1 do just fine?
