what about in series? i wanna put 2 4ohm voice coils to one channel on the amp in series how do i do that?

Sure, that is not a problem. It will result in an 8-ohm load on the amplifier channel, and I don't know of a car audio amplifier that cannot handle an 8-ohm load. Why do you want to wire them in series?

Your sound quality will likely improve, but the volume level will be cut in half. You will need to re-set your gain.
