Need help wiring amp and subs....

[AZSCTACO]

So I have a Pioneer PRS-D2100T amp and changing out my amp is not an option. It took me awhile to find an amp to fit under neath my 2nd row seats. I just bought a Rockford Prime box with 2 12" subs in it. My issue is my amp can not be run safely at 2 ohms and the box is wired so that the 2 svc 4ohm subs will be wired at 2 ohms to the terminal in the box.

All I'm seeing is wiring these 4ohm subs at either 2 ohm or 8 ohm load. I need it to be at 4ohm.

Below are the specs of the amp and subs in the box. Can I re-wire the subs to that both positive wires go to the single positive terminal on the box and also for the negative? Them run the positive and negative wires to the amp and wire it bridged at the 600W x 1 @ 4 ohms to the amp? Will this work?


amp: Pioneer PRS-D2100T


150 Watts x 2, at 4 ohms <= 1% THD+N
600 Watts x 1, at 4 ohms BRIDGE <= 1% THD+N
80 dBA Signal-to-Noise Ratio (Reference: 1 Watt Output)


box/subs: R1L-2X12 Dual Prime 12" 300 Watt Loaded Enclosure

300 Watts RMS
600 Watts Max

(each sub is 150 W RMS & 300 W Max) according to the website

Run subs in series then bridge at the amp.

Not sure who this guy is, but he's correct...

Run subs in series then bridge at the amp.

But won't that give me the 2 ohm load I'm trying to avoid? The subs are 4ohm svc.

Nope running subs in series will give you 8 ohms then bridging at the amp will give you 4 ohms.

Of course I am.

Of course I am.

SO I'll have to re-wire in the box (connect a wire from the + on one sub to the - on the other sub) them run the wires from the 2 remaining to the connectors to create a 8 ohm output? Then once I run the + and - to the 2 channel amp and bridge it...it will create a 4 ohm bridged output?
