How much are you looking to spend? And would you be willing to swap for the Dual 2ohm Type-R subs?

thanks killer sonata, And what do you mean swap cloak559? And money is not a factor because you get what you pay for. I also forgot to add I am keeping it all alpine. But I think I will go with what killer sonata Said. Thanks

Cloak means this because with your two dual 4 ohm coils only wiring options you have are 1 ohm and 4 ohm...using all coils.

You can use one coil on each and get a 2 ohm load but that would be pointless...somewhat.

If you switched to the dual 2s you can load a mono amp at 2 ohms wiring the subs in series/parallel.

Well, what would sound, and work the best? If I switched to the dual 2s and load a mono amp at 2 ohms wiring the subs in series/parallel
