no, the math doens't work. with 2 speakers, each with dual 2ohm coils (4 coils total at 2 ohms each), you can series/ parralel connect to get either 2ohms or 1/2 ohm. check out page 17 of this

I would go with the 2 ohm configuration and accept the 1100W rating of the Zeus. That will give better sound quality and less chance of blowing than trying a 0.5ohm config.

you can run the subs at any impedence as long as it dosnt go under the amps minimum impedence which is 1 ohm, it will not damage the speakers but if you go under you WILL damage the amp, well let me correct that the impedance wont damage the speakers but if you go under 1 ohm you might get a amount of power from the amp that is too much for the subs which could blow them but i doubt it the amp will probably give before the subs do

Im not familiar with Kicker and the ohms they run, but EACH speakers FINAL impedance needs to be 2ohms. With 2 speakers running 2ohms each, you will create a 1ohm load.

Yes. The specs on speakers and amps are "maximum" specs. You will lose a little bit of quality, but it will still work.
