Dual 2-ohm voice coils, ...

Could you wire both in series and end up with a 2 ohm load overall? Thats right correct?

My only other option would be for .5 Ohms, correct?

I need to know for my amp selection, I'm not totally sure if those are right, but I'm pretty positive.

So I need a 2 ohm, or .5 ohm amp!? Correct?

if you have 2 subs and both are dual 2 ohm, then you are correct.

not at all you have more choice's then that you can run @ 4 ohms 2 ohms 1 ohm or .5 ohm

what amp you should look for ? what kind of power can your speakers take? how much do you have to spend?

How do you run those two subs at 1 ohm?

1000 RMS a piece so ~2kw @ whatever independance.

Ok...I'm lost.

Do you have 1 sub, or 2 subs?

With 1 sub, your only options are 1ohm and 4ohm.

With 2 subs, your only options are .5ohm, 2ohm and 8ohm.

2, and thats why I was confused. He said I could run 1 ohm, but I didnt think I could unless I ran both subs individually.
