What is your desired final impedance?

Do this twice and connect the two sets in parallel.  Your net load will be 4-ohms.  There is no good way to get to 2-ohms net with your configuration.

According to Power Acoustik, that amp is 1 ohm stable.  I do not know if I would attempt to run it into 1 ohm.  But if you wish to get the maximum amount of power from the amp, you can do the following twice.  Then connect both positive wires to the positive terminal of the amp, and connect both negative wires to the negative terminal of the amp.
Option 2 (series/parallel) = 2 ohm load
Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 2 or 1 ohm mono

Once you asked about DVC drivers, the next time you you said nothing about DVC.  Which is it?

According to the Manufacturer that amp will run into a 1 ohm load.  And yes that is how you would have to wire it in order to achieve that load.  And yes it will make it's max power into that load.  If it were me, I would at least try it into the 4 ohm load that DYohn suggested.  Then if that is not loud enough for you maybe you could try the 1 ohm configuration.  The amp will last much longer into the 4 ohm load.  The cost to repair that amp after the 1 ohm load takes it out is over 200 dollars. I think I saw them selling that amp for around 300 dollars.

Sorry, you can NOT post a reply.
