I just re-read the thread and you have DVC speakers at 2 ohms per voice coil so there is no optimal way for you to wire it. The only thing you can do with that amp is run each voice coil in series and then one speaker per channel at 4 ohms Sell the damn thing and pick up an old school Orion HCCA 225 or 250 and run it at 1/2 ohm!!!

Yeah the amp was a left over I had, the speakers I just bought cause I got a smoking deal on them. I have them ran in serius with one each speaker connected to the amp. Non bridged because the newer sony amps are none bridgeable. The joys!! Well she will just have to make due until I can have some time to go find the right kind of amp for it. Thank you again!!

Just hook up one sub wired series. You shouldn't have a problem running 4-ohms bridged. Just go from +L on amp to +1 on sub, then -1 to +2 on sub, and finally -2 on sub to -R on amp.

Thank you again. I have them hooked up in a series connection. I will go through and disconnect the one sub and run the other one off the bridge. I hate the fact that you can not longer bridge sony amps like back in the day. Thank you for the clarifiation. Also thank you for taking the time to lay it out for me.

i have the 4 ohms and there 12's but in ur case i would hook them up normal positive to negative and then bridge them at the amp or you could just get a mono block d-class amp that will do it
