if we are talking about voice coils a dual 2 ohm can be wired for either 1 ohm or 4 ohm and a dual 4 ohm can be wired for 2 ohm or 8 ohm. 2 DVC 2 ohm subs can be wired for .5ohm or 2 ohm and 2 DVC 4 ohm subs can be wired for 1 ohm or 4 ohm. does that make sense?

+ to +, - to - = lower ohm load
+ to -, - to + = higher ohm load

scott dude, there isnt just 1 way to wire a sub, there are TWO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you wire in paralell, or in series

parallel, ohm is cut inhalf
series, ohm is doubled
exmaple, dual 4 ohm
parallel is 2 ohm
series is 8 ohms, ok simple as that
