    Well depending on the ohm's of the sub and the amp you want to make sure you wire them so that each sub is wired at the same ohm's your amp can handle... For example if you am can only hand 2ohms then wire your subs at 2ohms.

    wire the voice coils in series and then the remaining leads of each speaker in parrallel. and you'll get 2 ohms...if your amp can handle that

    Your options for wiring the subs

    So....

    considering that your amp can probably only run at a 4 ohm mono (2 ohm stereo) load...you're going to run into issues running both subs at an optimal power level.

    Rather than just try and make what you have work, get something that works with what you have.

    Can you provide the exact model number of your amp so I can double check the ratings?

    You can not run a 2ch amp at 2ohm, because it will run each channel at 1ohm, and your amp is not able to run that load. You will need a mono amp to put them at 2ohm

    The only way to run a pair of those subs is to do all connections in series at 8ohm. This will most likely not give you the sound you want.

    ^^ huh? it will run each channel at 2ohms lol. Oh and he doesn't necessarily need to run the subs at 8ohms because the amp is capable of a 2ohm load last i checked.

    Take the + from one coil and attach to the - of the next coil. Then take the remaining + and - and wire directly to Ch. 1 of the amp. Then do the same to the opposing sub. Your amp won't like that very much. The subs themselves i'm assuming you have the CVR 12s? They require 400w RMS @ 4ohms per sub. That sony amp is putting at MOST 300w RMS x 2 @ 2ohms. And that amp will most likely heatup... My recommendation, buy a mono block. Capable of a 2ohm load w/ roughly 800w RMS.

    Or if you prefer sony
    SON XM9001GTR i think is the model number....
