I just got a 2 channel pioneer gm-5100t with 760 watts maxx

It is going to power 2 soundstorm 600watt dual voice coil 4ohm subs

I want to wire the subs to the amp at a 2 ohm load but it wont let me.

I have no idea how I should wire these up because the instructions on the amp say that I cant wire lower than 4 ohms.

How would I wire these subs at 8ohms or 4ohms.Im lost with this.

Wire your subs to the amp in this fashion to get the maximum output of the amp.

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