Oh, so for Dual 1.5 ohm voice coils, i think the only way you can wire it is in series for 3 ohms (that's positive to negative) or parallel for .75 ohms (that's positive to positive adn negative to negative).

okay so if i wire it in series i would wire the positive on one voice coil to the negative on the other voice coil and then the other positive to the amp and the other negative to the amp? hope that makes sense.
