I have a Kicker ZX 750.1.

I was thinking of getting a pair of Kicker Comp VR 10".   Will it matter if i get the 2 ohm or 4 ohm DVC's?  Can I hook them both up and run 2 ohm successfully? 

I am completely ignorant when it actually comes to the wiring of subs.  So please, any Diagrams would be extrememly helpful.  And I may even name my first born after you.

Thanks

-John

Also the thought of PolyFill came up.

Now i see a small problem.  My subs fire down.  so obvioudly having loose polyfill laying on the subs will probably be a bad idea.  What kind of glue do people usually use to keep it stuck good.  From my knowledge poly-fill is a plastic derivitive, so some glues would just melt the fill.  just looking for alternatives.

Also I am in Afghanistan at the moment so it makes it hard to look for stuff right now.  Just a justification to my needyness ;)

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

You must get the Dual 2 ohm drivers.   If you ge the dual 4s your choices will be 1 ohm or 4 ohms.     As for the retention of the polyfill, go to the Home Depot and get some chicken wire or some metal screen door material.  Place the polyfill in the box, set the screen into the box and shape the screen in a manner that it will stay off of the woofer, then put the front on the box and insert woofers.
