Are the woofers single or dual voice coil? What leads you to believe the amp is stable at 2 Ohms bridged? Will it run 1 Ohm per channel? ------------- Let's Go Brandon Brown. Congratulations on your first Xfinity Series Win. LGBFJB

Never heard of it, and it's not a good sign when Google can't find it either. What are the amplifier specs? ------------- Support the12volt.com

IF it's 2-ohm stable then sure, you can connect two 4-ohm loads in parallel. ------------- Support the12volt.com

Sure, that is not a problem. It will result in an 8-ohm load on the amplifier channel, and I don't know of a car audio amplifier that cannot handle an 8-ohm load. Why do you want to wire them in series? ------------- Support the12volt.com

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

Your sound quality will likely improve, but the volume level will be cut in half. You will need to re-set your gain. ------------- Support the12volt.com
