Well im getting confused. First I hear dual 1's can only be wired to .5, and 2 ohms. Then I hear they can only be wired to .25, 1 and 4 ohms. Which is correct?!?!?!

1 woofer can be wired either .5 or 2 ohms. 2 woofers can be wired at .25, 1 or 4 ohms.

Study the examples on that page to get an understanding of the available wiring configurations. Once you understand the math, it'll be easy to you. You may also want to play with these calculators: https://www.the12volt.com/caraudio/boxcalcs.asp#par
