hahaha, yes, i have a drinking "hobby", lol. i just thought the sig pic captured my persona perfectly, it was taken by a friend of mine a while back. i consider myself a beer expert, and i dodnt typically get drunk...but some nights thats a different story

anyway, there isnt a way to run both subs as a single 2ohm resistance to the amp. heres what you have to do:

1) for both subs, wire the voice coils in series (+ to -/+ to -). youve now "made" each sub 8ohms.

2) using one of the voice coils from each sub, wire the two in parallel (+ to +/- to -). it doesnt matter which voice coil you use on either sub, just pick one. this now presents a 4ohm total load from both subs, and all 4 voice coils.

3) from the last sub in the "chain", connect your + and - wires to the amp.


the only other way to wire everything is to run everything (all the voice coils) in parallel, but this will give you a total of 1ohm of resistance, which might not be safe for the amp. now if you want to only run ONE sub, you can just wire each of the two coils in parallel and hook that up to the amp. it will yield the maximum power from the amp, as the total resistance will be 2ohms. on the other hand, you are loosing a sub. theoretically, the output will be the same either way, but that depends on the box design, etc. if you really wanted the extra power, i would recommend returning the alpine and getting an amp that can handle a 1ohm mono load, that way you could use the subs to thier full potential.
