I have 2 alpine type r dvc subs and im tryin to wire them up to a lanzar vibe 4ch 1000watt amp the amp says its bridable at 4ohms and is 2ohm stable.I was wondering what would be the best way to wire the subs to the amp and make it sound good and also be very loud. thanks

2 DVC drivers with Voice Coils in Series / Parallel
Connecting the two voice coils of each driver in series (+ to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.) will result in the following impedances:
Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 6 Ohms
Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 4 Ohms
Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: 2 Ohms


heres the link if you need it
