[QUOTE="zane, post: 1405, member: 540617"] Your wiring options with Dual 4 ohm voice coils are: 4 ohm mono, 1 ohm mono, 8 ohm mono, 4 ohm stereo, 2 ohm stereo. You will have to run the amp stereo (using both channels) On each sub you will need to wire the voice coils in paralel. Easiest way to explain this is to splice the speaker wire into a "Y" shape. You will need 4 sets of "Y's" 2 Y's per sub, obviously 1 for posative, one for negative. Take 1 of the Y's and connect two of its ends to each posative side of the sub. Repeat this for the negative side. This should leave 2 wires -1 posative, 1 negative from the sub. Copy this at the second sub. This will effectively leave each sub at 2ohms paralel. Now take each sub and hook it up to the left and right channels of your amp- posative to posative, negative to negative. You now have a 2ohm stereo load. Take it easy, -zane [/QUOTE]
