Ohm question

Ok I have a dual 2 0hm IDMAX 12 and a PPI PC2600 which is 600 watts bridged at 4 ohms. In the manual it says that if ohms is lower then then 4 ohms it will go into protection. This amp can't run my sub can it.

Wire the voice coils in series. That will show the amp a 4 ohm nominal load. It will work fine.

Don't...I have to reference diagrams for impedance all the time. Better to ask than to screw something up.
