You can't do that.

You can wire that sub to .75 ohm or 3 ohms.



If you have a VERY good electrical system, that is a good quality amplifier so it would probably be able to handle .75 ohm in that case.

so you'll need some 12 gauge wire about 2 feet or so for the 2 wires

go to a shop and buy them if you don't already have the wire

And yes what reece stated making another thread

You'll probably see impedance rise from the box so you will have a 1 ohm load
