hey all

im trying to wire 2 8 ohm subs into a 2 ch amp. i really like this amp and want to be sure i do this right. the subs are only 375 rms

and the amp puts out plenty of power so i was thinking of wiring each sub into each ch and giving the amp a 8 ohm load. what do you guys think? should i bridge the subs instead? how should i do it? thanks for your help

So what exactly is your question?  That amp cannot be bridged so it looks to me like you have it connected properly.

well thats from the subs that i already have. so should i wire each sub to each ch and wire it at a 8 ohm load? will this be ok for the amp?

i guess im not exactly sure what my wiring options are and would like to know how do i wire these subs to this amp?

That is pretty much your only option with that amp and 8-ohm SVC subs.

1: That amplifier is not bridgeable, as DYohn has said. It is dual mono.
2: As long as your impedance is ABOVE what the amplifier is rated to handle (which is the maximum load you can connect to it per manufacturer specifications) you will be perfectly safe. If this is at all confusing for you, just remember that the higher the IMPEDANCE, the lower the LOAD. The higher the impedance you connect to your amplifier's outputs, the less work it has to do.
BTW, I used to own that amp, and I loved it. You will have PLENTY of power at 8 ohms for those woofers.
It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
