How would I wire (2) Dual 4 ohm subs to show a load of 2 ohms ? or is that even possible?

Thanks, Ian

you can't
you could get a 4ohm load, 1ohm load, or a 16ohm load.

Its possible but a waste of power. YOu short out one voice coil of each sub and then wire the system as if they weren't even there.

I didn't mention this because it is generally a bad idea. A good explanation of why can be found at the bottom of the page here: http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/TechPapers/DualVoiceCoilDrivers.pdf

Get an amp to match your subs, not the other way around
