with A 4ohm dvc you make it into one 8ohm or one 2ohm ...
for the "most power" run at 2ohm ...
amp + to all subs +
amp - to all subs -

^Yup, and hopefully the amp is fairly stable at 2ohms. Thats one problem you can run into with DVC subs and some amps.

Re: subwoofer wireing questions.....

so just wire it up like a regular speaker one wire going to the positive and negative for one coil and another wire for the other coil or do i need any of that like jumper wire type stuff......do you think you could do a quick sketch on paint???

Oh, you better be careful then. If you are bridging a stereo amp, the amp will see half the mono load. For example, if you wire your DVC sub to a 2 ohm load and bridge your stereo amp, the amp is going to be running at 1 ohm. With that amp, I'll bet my left nut 1 ohm is a bad, bad, bad idea.

Re: subwoofer wireing questions.....

Just go here and pretend ch1+2 and ch3+4 are your left and right outputs.

This is not the most powerful setup for this amp, but your only option is to run 4 ohms.
