with two D1s you'd be at .25 or 1ohm.

If you simply took all the positives and ran them to the amp and all the negatives and ran them to the amp( to their respective terminal of course) then it would be .25ohm
This is called wiring in parallel.

If you took a positive and connected it to a negative from the opposite set of terminals on EACH sub and then took the set of wires you had left and ran them to their respective terminals on the amp then you'd be at 1ohm.
This is called wiring in Series/Parallel.

Recone them to d2s. Otherwise you have .25 or 1 ohm

See if you can ship them back for a pair of d2s. You might have to pay shipping or something but it beats paying someone to recone a perfectly good sub that you would have to ship them anyway.

I wouldn't recommend any amp at .25 ohms daily. Which brings me to the question of is your electrical even stout enough for .5 with your current amp?

I also agree with the run them at 1 ohm comment.

True I did forget that the question at hand was how to wire for a different load.

for .5 ohm, it should be enought...

What racer said.

Well your options are run it at 1 ohm which is a good option since that's still a good deal of power. Or recone them with another companies recone kit that fits and are d2s.

do u know how mush power the amp will produce at .5 and what is the pros and cons of running it that low thanks

depends on everything, maybe 4k, id run it a 1ohm because its less current draw than .5 and the amp will last alot longer at 1 ohm over .5
