You can NOT wire two DVC 4 ohm subs to a 2 ohm load, only 4 ohms or 1 ohm. Your only options are to wire it to 4 ohms, since that amp is not 1 ohm stable. Or pick a differen amp or subs.

why that amp?

why dont you stick with the diamonds, and get a quality 1ohm stable amp?

What kind of money are you willing to spend?

the subs are a friends, and I was going to give him the amp because I have no use for it. So I guess we need to find a 1 ohm stable amp.
