The only way that can happen would be to use only one voice coil of each speaker. If you need .5 ohm total load you should have purchased dual 2 ohm drivers.

Your choices with 2 dual 1 ohm drivers would be 4 ohm or 1 ohm.

Option 1 (series/parallel) = 1 ohm load
Voice coils wired in series, speakers wired in parallel
Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 1 ohm mono

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