I have 2 12" adiobahn AW126T  I want to put a 2ohm load on them and a 2ohm load on my amp.  What is the best way to wire them so they hit there hardest???  Thanks for your time.

Well i dont know anything about the subs that you own, however  it is the subs impedance that determines the amplifier loading.so if your subs are say single 4ohm voice coils you can wire them in parralel(neg-neg and pos-pos from each sub then run a pos and a neg cable to one channel on your amplifier this will then show a 2ohm load to the amp. if they are not single 4 ohm subs just remember that parralel wiring will halve your impedance and series wiring will double the impedance. if you are still not sure there is a wiring chart on this site somewhere that will show you what i'm talkin about.
