Audio wiring/resistance/all that jazz

I have been doing my homework on resistance/impedance and all that jazz, but apparently i can't wrap my head around it while i'm at work. Maybe somebody here has a solid answer.

I have a dual voice coil 4 ohm sub that i want to hook up to my 2 channel amp (temporarily), wired down to 2 ohms... hopefully that's coming out the right way. looking at parallel/series, and bridged/non-bridged, anybody have suggestions on how that wiring would look?

Wire both negatives together and wire both positives together. Run your amp in bridged mode

I figured it would be simple, i just didn't have the math worked out so i couldn't tell the load to the amp and didn't want to over-push it.

It would not blow his amp if it is 2ohm stable in bridged mode

thats not bad not bad at all. It works with your setup since its 2 ohm stable bridged but a mono would still have been better.... however for 60 bucks you cant go wrong. lol tell your friend to sell me some RF amps for that much
