Double coil means that each sub has two coils at 4 ohm.
You can wire them as one 2 ohm coil.
And by doing that you only need a 4 channel amp that is able to support 2 ohms.

If you want to change the stock amp, please consider that it has a simple buildt in processor and a crossover network for the subs.


Lot of misinformation there.


The stock head is two channels.
The stock amp is four channel, but wired as two channels.
The amp right front and sub inputs are both connected together to the head right output. Same with the left side. The front and subs can be separated by running another set of wires from the amp to the head.

The front speakers, mid and tweeter, are wired together in parallel. The subs are dual coil, but the coils are wired in series.
