I'm a noob, please help

Hey all, I am a noob to this whole wiring part of car audio. I had some guy I know wire up my subs, and he wired them at 4 ohms. I want to wire it up at 2 ohms, but I have no idea how to go about doing that. Does anyone have any idea how to do this, or know any sites that explain this stuff, so that I can do it myself? thanx.

I can walk you through it. But you need to know the voice coil configuration on your subs first. Let me know what subs you are running and I will tell you your wiring options.

It is a 12'' MA Audio MA121XQ(I know nothing special), with dual voice coils

EDIT: I just looked it up, and the coils are 4 ohm coils. So does that mean there will be no 2 ohm for me?

you are fine where you are now having them wired 4ohms bridged across both channels is gonna give you the most out of that amp

Just looked it up..................................nope.

EDIT: Either way, I was thinkin about getting some type R's anyway, so Could I get a diagram or something for the 2 ohm hookup?
