My first time with DVC 8 ohm subs so bare with me a little. If I wire them in parallel to i get 4ohm final load on a bridged 2/4 channel amp? Geez so confusion.

sub or sub"s" ?
Each sub 8 ohm dvc sub with the coils wired in parallel = 4 ohm load
So if you have "two" subs with the coils wired in parallel and then parallel both subs together = 2 ohm load (this is typically too low of an impedance for "most" two channel amps running bridged mode, however there are some that are "stable" with this impedance)
If you're running a four channel amp, you can bridge channels 1+2 for one sub, and channels 3+4 for the other. You would want to gain match each set of bridged channels, and it would be highly advisable for the subs to have seperate chambers

they are subs. I plan to have a ZX600 to run each one of those buggers!! anyone know much about Diamond Macdaddy 12.8's because I'm about to try them out for a little test drive.

I run a diamond D6104 in my truck and love it.... That is a model up from it so it should not be dissapointing.

If i decided that they don't work for me, you think I could get rid of em fairly easy?

that would depend on the price you would need to sell it for, which of course would depend on what you pay.

Would just want what I payed for them. $100 for the pair.

I know, thats what I said. I have not priced the macdaddy or seen any for sale lately to say if it would be an easy sell or not.
