Since my amp isn't 2 ohm stable i am only running one sub at this time. But i started thinking, when i do get a 2 ohm stable amp one sub will be more broken in than the other and that would lower my sql (i think?). So i was wondering if it would be possible for me to wire both of my subs in a series so i get an 8ohm load. Would this wreck anything (especially the subs?)?

This is what i mean...

because power output is inversly porportional to the total resistance of the subs circuit. so as you add resistance to the circuit power output goes down, as with the opposite, as resistance of the circiut goes down power output goes up, and the amp has a much easier time producing the power as its not producing as much and wont heat up as fast as if it were running at 4 or 2 ohms. It wont wreck anything at all, youll be fine.
