Silver Member Username: CoryCanada Post Number: 162 Registered: Jan-05 | yes you can wire two 4ohm speakers into a 2ohm load(by wiring them in parallel) you would get more watts out of your amp from a 2hom load then a 4ohm load(EX:100watts into 4ohms/200watts into 2ohms). But make sure the amp is 2ohm stable. If you got the two subs rated at 2ohms you would need to check the stabillity of the amp at 1ohm or you could wire it into a 4ohm load. |
