Will it stay at 2 ohm or go down to 1 ohm?

[QUOTE="NSTALN, post: 8603133, member: 588169"] A mono amp that has (2)+ and (2)- connections is typically paralleled internally...so if you hook up (1) 2ohm load to one +/- and another to the second set of +/- the amp will parallel that to a 1ohm final load. It seems you have (2) 4ohm DVC subs (correct?), if this is the case you will not achieve a 2ohm final load. Your options are: 4ohm and 4ohm parallel...for 2ohms per sub...from there you can either series the (2) subs for a final 4ohm load. Or you can parallel the (2) subs for a 1ohm load. You can also series (2) 4ohm coils for an 8ohm load, then parallel those (2) subs for a 4ohm load, or run the (2) subs in series for a final load of 16ohms. The only way to get a 2ohm final load is to run a single 4ohm DVC (coils parallel) for a single 2ohm load. [/QUOTE]
