You don't do it on the amp, you do it with the speakers, two 4ohm speakers wired in parallel will get you a 2ohm load, go to http://www.the12volt.com on the left, under car audio, clik on parallel & series. 94

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





2 DVC drivers with Voice Coils in Parallel / Parallel
Connecting the voice coils of each driver in parallel (+ to +, - to -) and the drivers themselves in parallel (+ to +, etc.) will result in the following impedances:
Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 1.5 Ohms
Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofers: 1 Ohm
Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofers: 0.5 Ohm

How about series/series?
Or Parallel/ Series?

Or how about the first subs coils in parallel with the second subs coils in series now these to subs wired in parallel.
Lol just having fun

Dual-6 Ohm Subwoofers: 2.4 Ohms
Dual-4 Ohm Subwoofer: 1.6 Ohms
Dual-2 Ohm Subwoofer: .8 Ohms
