1. So if you have a 2 channel amp that is 2 ohm stable, does that mean that each channel is 2 ohm stable?

2. If a 2 channel amp says that it is 2 ohm stereo stable, does that mean that each channel is 2 ohm stable?

3. If a 2 channel amp says that it is 2 ohm mono stable, does that just mean that when it is bridged between the two channels, then it is 2 ohm stable?

4. Is it more efficient to have a 2 channel amp with each hooked up to one sub, or bridged to mono hooked up in series or parallel to both of them?

Thank you a bunch for your help

1. Yes This is the most common kind of amp and if bridgable is 4-ohm mono stable.

2. Same thing. Yes.

3. Yes. An amp like this would be 1-ohm stereo stable.

4. More efficient? Well, that depends on a lot of things, but it is generally better sonically to send the exact same signal to each sub in a multiple woofer setup, which means it is generally better to use one amp for all the subs in your system.
