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
Two 2 ohm DVC Speakers = 2 ohm load.
IS this the best way to wire my new subs? they are dvc 2ohms,they will be hooked up to a memphis 500 watt rms class d monoblock? thankyou. sorry couldnt get the pic to load from the wiring wizard but it is option 2.

Most MONOBLOCK amps are rated at 1 ohm. So the 500W RMS is at 1 ohm.
Yes, this is the only way for your amp and speaker setup.
I typically use 2ohm DVC speakers when only using 1, or 3 speaker setups. However there are plenty of amp that can handle a wide range of loads... I think your setup will do just fine though.
