DVC wiring question

[ENDER_XVICM 10+ year member]

I have two MB Quart 4 ohm DVC subs. Is there any way to wire them into a 2 ohm load. I have a Kicker 600.1 amp I got from a friend. It is rated at 300x1 @ 4ohm and 600x1 at 2ohm. Is this amp stable down to 1ohm???

(2) DVC 4's can not equal 2ohm

Wire both coils in series for an 8-ohm impediance. then wire two 8-ohm subs in parallel for a 4-ohm load. Sha-wing! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

EDIT: read you wrong.. No. not possible.

that amp isnt stable at 1ohm, the subs can be wired to a final 4ohm load

Ok that is what I thought. Then would you guys recomend running both subs at 4 ohm or just running one sub at 2 ohm. Until I get a good 1ohm sub that is. What would produce better quality?

Will a single sub handle the 600+watts?

The subs can handle 200 per coil. I can turn the gains on the amp down though.

Yes, you might be able to run both if they are that low rated on power...

Ok, I will try both ways out, see which way sounds better. Thanks guys.

The box the subs are in is for 2 12" subs but is not partitioned into 2 smaller boxes. Would you recomend jamming some shirts into the box or leaving it completly empty?
