If you mean you have two dual 4 ohm voice coil subs with voices coils wired in parallel wired in parallel again, yes that will give you a 1 ohm load.

If you're talking about the BP600.1 then thats fine. That amp is 1 ohm stable. If you have the GTO601.1 don't doeeet!

the reason i ask is because I read it sends 300 watts to each sub, now I don't know how I have them set up but its not at 1 ohm, so am I still getting 300 per sub, i think not, right? so is this the best thing to do to get the best out of the jbl amp?

Well if thats the speakers you have then thats the best. I'd rather see the amp run at a 2 ohm load, but if thats what you have, thats what will work best.

Exactly what subs do you have? DVC's confuse the hell out of a lot of people including me. Just wanna make sure we're on the same page.

well you just have to use a series/parallel wiring to get 2 dual 4 ohm subs down to 1 ohm. heres a link to a diagram that should help you. http://www.crutchfieldadvisor.com/ISEO-rgbtcspd/learningcenter/car/subwoofers_wi ring.html?subs=2&impedance=DVC4x2
