Why not run the coils in series on a 2 ohm stable amp? By the picture, a pbr300x2 might be a good start.

I currently have a pbr300x2. So instead of running a channel 2 each coil just run a single channel to both? So would that basically put 2.4 ohms to the amp which is within spec?

That's what I would do. You're going to have problems finding a 1 ohm stable 2 channel amp with that low of wattage. Unless you find the Sony branded amp that was installed in whatever Ford car that speaker came out of.

Just make sure you run the coils in series and not parallel.

I would have to ask why?

1.) paper cone
2.) rated at 40w
3.) bass is pretty much useless on a moving bike

I can see wanting bass,..........but that boat anchor is a waste of time.....

If you're looking for bass, there are options,.............just not that one.
