You can wire each sub itself to 2ohm. But your mono load choices 4ohm or 1 ohm.

Wire each sub parellel, Each sub will only have 2 wires coming from it.

Just because is has 2 voice coils doesn't mean you'll have to have 4 wires coming from it.

______VoiceCoil 1 VoiceCoil 2

You Have:Black*____red

_________red*______Black

So wire: Black* to Black and red* to red, then have 2 wires

leaving the red and black. that will give you 2ohms.

P.S. don't pay any attention to the ____ marks.

snapnakk--is your 2 channel amp

1 ohm bridge/mono stable

then wire each sub into 2 ohms

then wire both subs together (parallel)

for a 1 ohm load to your amp.

if not

is it just 4 ohm bridge/mono stable

then wire each sub into 2 ohm

then wire each sub in stereo (2 ohms)

one sub for the left channel

one sub for the right channel

wiring both sub in stereo each

sub will have the the most power

that your amp can put out at a 2 ohm load

the amp is 2 ohm stereo stable. So how would i put the wires to get that 2 ohm load. I dont know exactly how to hook them up. I do want the most power possible from the amp without wreckin anything.

thanks so all the help.

for each channel of the amp: wire the amp pos(+) to the pos(+) of sub of both VC. and then the amp neg(-) to neg(-) of both VC. repeat for the other channel of the amp. this creates a 2ohm load for each of the amps channels.

see below:
