That amp is ok with 2 ohms I believe. If each of your subs are single voice coil 4 ohms then wire them in parallel and you'll have two ohms.

That means positive on your amp goes to the positive on each of your subs and the negative to each of the negatives on your sub.

Amp + to sub 1 +and sub 2 +

Amp - to sub 1 - and sub 2 -

VS series. which would be:

Amp +to sub 1 +,

Sub 1 - to sub 2 +,

Sub 2 - to amp -,

Does that help?

4 ohms per coil or 2 ohms per coil?

If it's 4 ohms per coil just wire the two coils on the speaker as either 2 or 8 ohms by series or parallel wiring, then do the opposite from the amp to both subs. Will give you a 4 ohm total. That's your only option if they are 4 ohms pets coil as that amp I doubt is 1 ohm stable.

If the coils are 2 ohms, you can wire it the same way and end up with a 2 ohm load.
