Could someone please confirm that I have selected the correct wiring method for my single Kicker Solobaric S10D. I'm looking for a 2ohm load, but the speaker specs are a bit misleading/confussing. They never actually state the impedance of a single voice coil. I think I may be making this harder than it should be.

Complete list of skeaker specs: https://www.kicker.com/images/manuals/SolodMan.pdf

Model: Kicker Solobaric S10D (old round ones)

Impedance (ohms): 2,4,8 <-------------------------------------------- hmmmmmm?

Max Amp Power: 450

Sensitivity: 87.6

Freq Response: 24-10

Rec Enclosure V: .66

Wired using following method:

Will this give me a 2 ohm load, with this speaker?

I don't know why the pic didn't come through, here is the link:

What is the exact model # on the back of your sub? Also do you have a voltage meter?

Unfortunately I don't have the subs here at my new residence yet, they are back in Wisconsin. They are the S10D if that helps.

Yes, I have a $14 radio shack DMM

Well without the model number I can’t tell you if it’s a 2, 4, or8 ohm model. And if I don’t know how many ohms they are then I couldn’t tell you how to wire them. But when you get them if you can’t figure out the ohms you can use a voltage meter to measure how many ohms they are. You can read how to measure the ohms here https://www.eatel.net/~amptech/elecdisc/ . But when you get them give me the model # and I will tell you how many ohms they are and how to wire them.
