hi everyone ive got a question maybe someone can help me with. i just purchased 2 alpine x series 10" subs which will be installed in a custom sealed enclosure for an open top hummer h1.now these subs are 1000w rms and 3000w peak at 4 ohm. i only have 2 alpine mrp 1000w amps to push these subs, (600 rms at 4 ohm and 1000 rms at 2 ohm). is there any way i can wire these subs at 2 ohm? i know the amps are 2 or 4 ohm. also would i have been capable of running these two subs with only 1 of these amps ? thanks for you time

here is the owner manual. i know they say its a 4 ohm but i m wondering if i can wire them 2 ohm to really push my amps. you see my problem is i m worried my amps will be under powered for these subs and i m just trying to find a way of maximising my componants without having to buy more. thanks again
