I have a PPI 600watt rms amp and a TRIO of Alpine Type S ( 2 of them are 4ohm dvc and 1 is 2 ohm dvc )subs I need to run lowest 4 ohms bridge so could I wire the 2 4 ohm dvc down to 2 ohms each and the 2 ohm dvc to 1 ohm then just put them in series to get 5 ohms, by the math it looks right..........Or am I wrong???????

flatulatta has learned a lot since hanging out here and is right on. Don't use subs with mixed impedence off the same amp. The math may be right but the application is not.
