subwoofer Wiring Question

I'm thinking of picking up a pair of 8w3d2-4 subs and am wanting to run a 2 ohm configuration.

Can I simply wire a single voice coil from each sub in a parallel configuration to acheive the two ohm load? Do i have to use both sets of voice coils from each sub to hook them up or can I just use a single set from each sub?

thanks in advance.

yes, i know that i can do that but what i'm wondering is if I can get a 2ohm load out of 2 dual voice coil 4-ohm subs.

please note: I want a 2 ohm load not a 1 or 4.

Nope, your only going to get 1 or 4 ohm. Or 16
