Assuming your subs are 4ohm DVC(more than likely). Wire it like this to achieve a 4ohm load x 1

say man, instead of wiring them to 4ohms could I wire them to 1ohm like you stated earlier an hook them to this amp?!

I believe I want them to be wired to 1ohm. what is the difference between wiring them to 1 an 4 ohms?

i don't have that amp but I plan on buying this one, http://www.onlinecarstereo.com/CarAu...BRZ21001D.aspx

that way when my 2 current 12" cvr's go out, cuz I think there gonna go out soon, I can get 2 12" cvx's an this amp will push them good as well instead of having to get a new one when these subs go out

Rule of thumb: Wiring speakers in SERIES adds to the load. 4 Ohm + 4 Ohm = 8 Ohm. Wiring them in Parallel HALVES the load: 4 Ohm + 4 Ohm = 2 Ohm. Class D subs are usually mono, (one channel), since your bass, regardless of the channel, is usually at the same frequency. So, you can control your loading by how you wire the speakers. Pay attention to "phasing" in parallel wiring (red to red, black to black, etc) across the speakers. Some no-name amps can't deal with tiny loads of 2 or 1 ohm, and the result is clipping (distorted sine wave).

Yes. Dual voice coils is the equivalent of stereo input (2 channels) with one physical speaker. Keep in mind, you can wire speakers with dual voice coils in the same manner, and the same "math" would apply.
