If they are 4ohm SVC subs, then wire them in parallel for a 2ohm total load If they are 4ohm DVC subs then you cannot wire both of them to the same channel and acheive a 2ohm total loadSquirrel

If you have a monoblock amp then there should only be one channel (1 set of terminals). Some mono amps though have 2 physical sets of terminals for ease of wiring. What's the make and model of your amplifier?Squirrel

Ok, the P5 series are Class D Mono amps. The "bridge" they are talking about is not a true "bridge" in the classical sense (turning 2 channels into 1). Simply wire like the diagram I posted above and you'll be fine. The + and - where it says 2ohms is the + and - on the amp speaker output terminal. You can use seperate wires going to the subs (you don't have to daisy chain), just make sure the + on the amp goes to the + on the subs, and the - on the amp goes to the - on the subs.Squirrel
