read ohm's law to help you understand. Try to make yourself learn it. If it never makes sense to you...... you shouldn't be wiring things up yourself.

What model subs do you have? Are the voice coils 4 ohms each (I would assume so if they're entry-level)? How many watts RMS will the amp push per channel if run at 2 ohms stereo? How many watts can the subs handle RMS?

P.S. rockfblaz is correct that you should make yourself learn ohms law, but if don't get discouraged if it doesn't make sense at first. Keep working at it, & it will over time. & if you try & don't understand someone, ask for help with it. No sensible human will make fun of you for not understanding something if you're trying to figure it out, first, for yourself.
