My amp and subs just blew a couple of days ago :(. So now I'm buying a Crossfire VRA 2000RMSx1ohm amp and two crossfire BMF subs(500RMS each). I'm also thinking about purchasing a SOlo Baric Kicker 15" sub. I think the BMF subs are DVC 4 OHM..they might be 2OHMs. Is it possible to get a 1 OHM load with 2 DVC 4OHM subs (or 2OHM) with a single DVC 4OHM or DVC 2OHM sub? Many possibilities here. Your help is GREATLY appreciated.

Thanks

2 DVC 4 ohm coils = 1 ohm or 4 ohms, or 16 ohms
2 DVC 2 ohm coils = 1/2 ohm, 2 ohms or 8 ohms
Single DVC 4 ohm coils = 2 ohms or 8 ohms
Single DVC 2 ohm coils = 1 ohm or 4 ohms

What wire would I use, The largest wire that the amp's terminals will accept. Power and speaker wires.
