Ways to get 4 ohm mono

I am having a brain fart and cant remember wiring schemes to achive a 4 ohm mono load.
I wanted to know if it was possible to achieve this with a single sub and i believe that 2 2ohm dvc subs can be wired for a 4ohm mono load. Please let me know if it is possible to wire a singel sub 4 ohm mono.

Thanks

Ryan

With DVC 2 ohm single sub a 4 ohm mono load can be achived. All that you have to do is wire the two coils in series. Take a + on one coil and run that to the - on the other coil. Then you have a + on one coil and a - on the other, run this to the amp.
Wiring it in parallel would introduce a 1 ohm mono load to the amp.

correct, series doubles the load, parrallel cuts it in half, you diagram is Series.
