Default Am i in deep sh#t?

Is there any way to run two dual voice coil subs at 4 ohms bridged or on two channels at 2 ohms a piece? Or, will it hurt a sub at all running it at 4 ohms when it is meant for 2?

if you run 2x4ohm subs in parallel that will make their overall resistance 2ohms. so yes you can bridge to channels to do that. might strain the amp a bit though.

the lower the Ohms the more power it drains from the amp.

if you have (2) 2ohm DUAL voice coil subs each voice is 2ohm then the correct way to wire them for 2ohm would be a series that will keep the ohm load on the amp at 2
