I am wondering if it is possible to wire 2 dvc subwoofers, the first being a dvc 4ohm, and the second being a dvc 2ohm sub, to the same monoblock amplifier. The amp is a Hifonics Brutus 25th anniversary1208, stating that its stable to 1 ohm. Any possible configurations would be appreciated, if it is in fact even possible?
Thank you

Yes, it's possible. Advisable is a different story. I'd choose one or the other.
If you just want to get as close to 1 ohm as possible, just connect the dual 2 ohm sub in parallel and you're there.
If you want to use both, you could parallel the dual 4, giving you 2 ohms. If you series the dual 2, you'll get 4 ohms. If you connect both to the amp, that gives you 1.33 ohms.
