dual 2 ohm you could come out with either a 1 ohm or 4 ohm load, dual 4 ohm will give you 2 or 8 ohm load, and a dual 6 ohm will render a 3 or 12 ohm load.... all depends on how its wired.

Edit:

basically, what i'm telling you to do is take the sub out of the box, and look at the model number on the magnet. the model number will tell you what the ohm load for each coil is, and then you can go from there.

ie: 10w3v2-2 would be a JL 10 w3 version 2 dual 2ohm load. 10w3-4 would be a JL 10 w 3 subwoofer, original version, dual 4 ohm load.
Thanks Jim, I am coming home tomorrow so I'll look at it when I get there. I ended up putting my current speaker to one chan as I went to pump the tires up and after 30 minutes the amp was warm and started to smell like new electronics, didn't want to risk it so I put it back to the way it was.

P.S. My goal is not so people can hear me blocks away, my goal is to have clean crisp sound meaning the bass doesn't overpower the vocals. I have a Kenwood HU with Infinity speakers.
