    your subwoofer is dual 2 ohm

    that means 2 voicecoils

    which is like having 2 single voice coil 2 ohm woofers

    which means you can wire it down to 1 ohm

    all you have to do is hook both positives and both negatives up to the positive and negatice of the amp.

    if you had a single voice coil woofer, then you would only be able to get 2 ohms.

    The two are paired perfect.

    Wire both voice coils in parallel to your MTX amp and you'll be wired 1 ohm.
