[QUOTE="phemps, post: 7776712, member: 610170"] The amp that you have is not stable at 1 ohm. In wiring the voice coils of your subwoofer in parallel, the amp would see a 1 ohm load. You dont want to do this, I cant say from experience that this amp cant handle 1 ohm on good electrical, but even so the sub you have will not like the extra power. On the other hand if instead wiring the coils in parallel you wired them in series, you would see a 4 ohm load which would rob you of potential power. So you want a dual 4 ohm sub to acheive your final 2 ohm load. [/QUOTE]
