[QUOTE="helotaxi, post: 1750223, member: 550915"] Subs are not "x ohm stable," they are x ohms. I assume you mean that the subs you have are 2 ohm dual voice coil. If so, you will need an amp that is 2 ohm stable or 0.5 ohm stable or run each sub on its own 4 or 1 ohm stable amp. You will not be able to wire the pair to a single amp at 1 ohm, it can't be done. To wire them to your current amp, wire the coils of each sub in series (connect the positive of one coil to the negative of the other) and then connect the subs in parallel (connect the available positive terminals to the positive on the amp and the same with the negatives). That will give the amp a 2 ohm final load. [/QUOTE]
