Help me find a DVC 2+2Ohm Sub

Well.  This is what my efforts for the past 10 days have reveald:  That my amp (an older RF 800a2) being a two channel amp is "happiest" at 4 Ohm's bridged.  This information I obtained from RF's online knowledgebases.  The only way I can think of getting good power to a single 10" sub at 4 ohms is to do it with a 2+2 ohm DVC.  The next problem that I am encountering is the enclosure limitation.  The Eclipse needs more breathing room than I have to give (1.25???)  I need a sub that will be happy in a smaller enclosure = .76 cubic feet.   I suppose a 4+4 ohm sub can be wired to 8 Ohms...but I have no clue how that will sound.  I dont think my RF amp can be bridged to 2 ohms as I have heard (and it says so on the RF knowledge base) that the amp will overheat. 

To respond to the comment about listening to the other subs...well that is just an impossibility for me considering where I live.  Here is CT, there are only a handfull of local shops, and most of them dont carry JBL or Nakamichi.  Only one shop carries Eclipse, and he only has 12's on the shelf. 

I guess I just dont understand wiring and bridging well enough...which is why I'm here asking questions. 

hey the aluminum sub will work in that .76 box i have the specs here if you want ill email it to you.........

Who's sub you referring to?

A dual 2 ohm sub would be beneficial to someone using a multiple-speaker arrangement and want to present a different load on the amp than multiple 4 ohm speakers would provide.  The same is true for dual 4 ohm speakers.  Look at this Rockford site for a good wiring tool  http://www.rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/wiringwizard.asp

You are using one sub at 4 ohms.  It will be bridged at 4 ohms.  You don't need to limit your search to dual-voice coil subs.  I'm sure some other speaker suggestions are forthcoming, but if you can't hear...then I guess you'll be making a judgement on the merits of the testimonial.  (gregfocker wants to sell you his)

Yes I want to sell them but they would work with what he has you can wire both subs and present 4ohm load to the amp like he wants.

And the sub will work with that box.....I have spec. sheet to prove it........
