What is the nominal impedance for each voice coil? Can the four channel amp be bridged to two channels? What is the output power of the amp at various loads? WHat is the make and model of the amp?

first dont waste your money on that amp. you can get a much better soundstream amp for like $50 less than that. as for wiring if you get a two channel amp, which is what i suggest, you just wire both the positives to one channel of the amp and both the negatives to the same channel of the amp from one of the subs and the same for the other sub.

i would suggest this amp http://www.millionbuy.com/souega2440.html its alot cheaper and better quality than that rockwood $55 less

Are you sure about that model number for the subs? The closest thing I could find to that model number is the RFR3112. But you wrote dual 4 ohms so that doesn't match. You may have the RFD 2112. If you have a pair of dual 4 ohm subs I recommend sending that amp back and getting something worthy of the subs. With that amp you will only be able to give the subs 220 watts each, or 110 watts per voice coil. That's enough to get the subs to move but you won't realize most of the potential without a lot more power.

looks like ur stuck with that amp from ur other post. you're just going to have to wire each coil to one channel of the amp, 4 channels, 4 coils.
