I have two DWMs and a CCR center. Soon I will have a new Nord Three Purifi amp rated 210W @8ohms, 420W @4ohms, and 800W @2ohms (0.1% distortion).
Assuming I run the CCR from one of the DWM high outputs, should I use just one DWM, or two DWMs in series, or two DWMs in parallel. i.e. 4, 8 or 2 ohm loads respectively.

Follow Ups:
The more air that you can move in the bass the better for dynamic range and bass quality. If you can run parallel do it. But best would be one channel for each sub.
That's what I figure. I'm running the two DWMs now with separate amps using a Y from my center channel output. I could continue to do that with the Nord amp driving one DWM/CCR and the Emotiva PA-1 amp that I have (300W @4ohms) driving the other DWM.
I just wonder in terms of sound quality if driving both DWMs from the Nord amp would be better, and whether the 8 ohm series or 2 ohm parallel configuration would be best.
Of course I can try all the combinations :-)
