newbie asking same wiring question

[pho4metay 10+ year member]

just need some clarification. I have 2 dual 4 ohms sub and have a alpine mrp850 amp. 500@ 4 ohms and 800@ 2 ohms. my question is say, is it possible to wire each sub individually to make it to 2 ohms each to the amp rather than parallel/parallel? been bugging the **** out of me trying to figure this out. pretty much what I'm trying to see is if its possible to wiring up 2 dvc 4 ohms subs like I'm wiring 1 dvc 4 to 2 ohms. thank in advance.

you choices with 2 d4 subs are 1, 4, or 16 ohms.

each sub can be either 2 or 8 ohms each

i wouldnt wire it to 1 ohm. the amp could probably handle it but it would def. hurt it one way or another. i'd try selling your alpine and finding an amp that is 1 ohm stable. in the mean time you will just have to run it at 4 ohms i guess

d9s are only 2 ohm stable strapped i run them @.5 .. depends on the application.. and witht he subs and amp he has.. might as well get some good midbass if hes going to run 4 ohms.. or just new equipment

do you guys have an actual wiring diagram for me to hook it up? please nothing like from the12volt. It doesn't show the correct diagram for me.to write the sub in the box itself

i think what he means is wire one sub to d2 and the other sub to d2 and hook one sub up fot he + and - side and the other sub up to the other + and - side
