Sub wiring gurus... I need you!

Alright guys, how am I going to wire 2, 2 ohm SVC RE8's to my Hifonics ZX8000 5 channel amp. I am not sure if it is switchable to run 4 ohm on the 1st 4 channels and 2 ohm on the subs or not. I am still waiting for it. Tell me what you know. Here are the stats:

ZX 8000

4 x 50 Watts + 1 x 200 Watts @ 4 Ohms

4 x 100 Watts + 1 x 300Watts @ 2 Ohms

2 x 200 Watts + 1 x 300 Watts @ 4 Ohms

Right off the website. Can you help me?

Cmon guys, help me wire!

Jesus christ.. hold on. Your only option is to wire your subs to 4 ohm. Do you know how to do this?

This would be coming off your 5th channel:

Those are so **** nice graphics. Thanks man, I appreciate the help! Any compromise to the sound quality wired like this?

Are you making fun of my graphics -.o No sound comprise. They will be running at 4ohms. That isn't a lot of power, but that is all you got for now. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Yeah, that *****. Should I sell and go to different 8's? You know of anything that I could handle better with the same amp? The subs are brand new, in the boxes, so should be easy sell. No possibility for 2 ohm load is there (no possible wiring combo)?

Why don't you hook it up and see how it sounds? It may sound really good! No, possibilty for a 2ohm load. Well... actually there is but it is pointless. You could hook the subs up to the rear channels and each channel would be running 2ohms.. Each sub would be seeing 100 watts just like if you were to run it 4ohm to the 5th channel. I think you will be suprised how is sounds once you get it installed. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

[birsling 10+ year member]

Too wild! Yeah, I will check it out. I just hate to build this box, and then want to dump these subs for 1 -10" DVC RE. What do you think?
