Ohm wiring

I have two alpine 10 in subs. They are the DVC 2 ohm version. Is there a way to wire them to a 2 channel amp, stereo, not bridged and have a 2 ohm load? I'm always lost on the ohm stuff.

No. Your only option would be 1ohm or 4ohm per channel.

Only way to get a 2ohm load would be to wire them together series-parallel.

Why would you have an aversion to running your amp bridged in mono?

2-channel amp; probably not stable into 2ohm bridged //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Correct squeak, running bridged into a 2 ohm load will damage it according to the manual. dammit to hell

Your other option is to sell your amp and buy a new one.
