DVC 4-ohm woofers can be wired at either 2-ohms (both voice coils in parallel) or at 8-ohms (both VCs in series.) If you have two DVC-4-ohm woofers you can create a total 1-ohm load (assuming your amplifier can handle a 1-ohm load) by wiring both speakers for 2-ohms (VCs in parallel) and then wiring the two speakers in parallel at the amp. Your owner's manual should tell you what the dots mean, I don't know.
