[QUOTE="audiobaun, post: 7467228, member: 634282"] If you wire those DVC 4ohm subs together in parallel- you will be in a 1ohm load,and hopefully your amplifier is 1ohm stable????Series/parallel with both subs will be 4ohm stable,in which just about every amp on the market can handle.Series/series with both subs will be 16ohms.If you want to be at 2ohms stable with the subs that you have ,,,you are only going to be able to hook up 1only if your amplifier is 4/2ohms mono-bridged stable,otherwise... look forward to buying a new amplifier and or speakers if you hook both up Parallel/parallel as you have stated.Before wiring up,go to sonic electronics.com and find your subs,and amplifier,and wire them properly..its free information,and you can print out and utilize.????What subs do you have,and amplifier??Alot of todays amps are severely under rated &at 14.4v peak.Most vehicles cant stay at or reach the13.6v the 14.4 v,range? unless you buy ho alternator and spend some$ on upgrading the electrical??You may never reach todays amplifier specs??not on a stock alternator.I use old school 11.6v Zed Made amps.Rms is what you are trying to achieve for the most not PEAK!
