I just bought two rockford P210D4 theyre DVC four ohm, and i have a JBL 600.1 with an extra channel, which 600@2 ohms but only 300@4 i was wondering if i can wire the speakers seperatly at 2 ohm then to amp? is this going to make a 4 ohm load? Thanks again,

That is a 1 channel amplifier. There is no extra channel. There is an extra set of terminals that are there for ease of connection. You need either DVC 2 ohm drivers or 4 ohm Single Voice coil drivers. Your only option with the equipment you have is to wire the coils in series and then wire one woofer to each set of terminals on the amp. Following is a diagram for one of your woofers. Wire the other one exactly as pictured and then connect it to the "Extra Channel" This will have your amp wired at 4 Ohms. You can not achieve a 2 ohm load with the speakers you have.

Option 2 (series) = 8 ohm load
Voice coils wired in series
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 4, 2, or 1 ohm mono

i knew it was just an extra set thats what i meant, i used the with my w3's. Yea i didnt think it would work i sent this guy a question on ebay about them, and he assured me i could so i bought them, now i just sent him an email, hopefully he can load the box with 2 ohm, cause 300w isnt gonna cut it,
thanks for the input much apreciated
