what are the voice coils on the subs? 4 ohm what? 4 ohm dvc? 4 ohm single coil?
anyway, without model numbers of sub and amp, and some basic info. i would say yes it can, or no it cant be done. |

well, if they are dvc 2's wire each sub up to 4 ohms, then down to 2 ohms on the amp, and you should be fine. If the subs are dvc 4"s wire each dsub down to 2 ohms, then up to 4 on the amp. |

well, with out amp specs, ahhh ya. it will be fine. if the the subs are dvc2 it will be even better. Just dont wire the subs to a 1 ohm load. that amp will not do welll at 1 ohm. So stay at 2 or above. |
