Ohms Subwoofer

how can i wire one 2 Ohm Dvc subwoofer to a mono amp and make it run at 2 ohms?

i bought a new amp thats 1800 Watts Max and 900 Watts Rms at 2 ohms, and 900 max watts and 500 watts rms at 4 ohms. my subwoofer is 800 watts rms and 1600 watts max, the subwoofer is dual Voice Coil and 2 or 8 ohm. the box says 2 OR 8 ohm.
the problem is i can't find a wiring diagram that will tell me how to wire this dvc 2 Ohm Subwoofer to a mono amp and have it run at 2 ohms so i can get the full 900 rms watts out of the amp. the only diagrams i cam seem to find run a 4 ohm load to the amp.

there is no way you can get a final load of 2 ohms with a subwoofer that has dual 2 ohm Voice Coils.

the only ohm loads you can get will be either 1 ohm, or 4 ohm.

that site shows the only wiring options for one 2 ohm Dvc Sub.

if you have two of those subs, then yes.. u can get a final 2 ohm load. but its impossible having that load with just one amp and one sub.
