if they are dvc get the 4 ohms so you you can run it at a 1ohm load this will give you the most power to the subs. if they are svc go with the 2ohm.

yeah they are dvc but i was thinking of running them at 2ohm will that work with the 4ohm speakers ok does it not mean they can only be run at 4 ohms

I you wanna run your amp at a 2 ohm load then single 4 ohm voice coils will get you there with minimal wiring ( this is going to be the easiest)

2ohms should be plenty of power for the W3s so why push the amp and just to get a littel more power and a bit more distortion..just my opinion.
