We do not know which amp you are using so I do not know if this will be a safe wiring for you and your amp but to answer your question, to lower the ohm load wire the coils in parallel, which is wiring the two positives together and the two negatives together.

^i did that today i looked on the jl site and got the diagrams im at 2 ohms now im running a sony xplod 1000 watt amp its old but ive had it for 5 years and now my friend has it that is the best amp ive ever had even tho i know its not an expensive amp

don't expect to be getting 1000 out of that amp

[dabuilding]

ok..... that amp is alot louder than the (1600 watt) amp i have now

2 ohms will be just fine. not the best amp in the world but if it plays and you like the way it sounds then stick with it. most amps that say 1000 watts max power like the sony really means that its putting out 500 watts rms. i assume that amp is only stable at 2 ohms. if you want a real nice amp expect to pay 1 dollar per watt unless u find some crazy deal on ebay.

that statement means absolutely zilch

there are way too many factors to consider unless you have tried both amps to the same subwoofer set-up with the same wiring schematics.

what 1600 watt amp are you currently using?

[dabuilding]

its a boss i know it sux and its making nowhere near 1600 but i didnt pick it out it came with my subs in my car but i had my 2 12" rf p1s in my buddys jeep off that sony 1000 and it blew one of my sups and it wasnt bridged it was only off one channel but i got one of em bridged on that (1600 watt) boss and the one hasnt blown

[jnralp00]

just because that amp blew that speaker doesn't mean that it is ptting out alot of power... in fact likely quite the opposite. speakers are usually blown from a clipped signal. (dirty power)
