Yes, it is possible to wired them into a 2 ohm load, but not on a 2 ohm load stereo since a mono amp is just mono. All output will be in in a single channel.

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it. question on amp kits - Page 2 - Last Post -- posted image.

I have a friend with 2 dvc 1ohm woofers. He want to wire them in a 2 ohm load stereo but he has a mono amp. Is that posible????

No, you cannot wire a mono amp in stereo. Mono means one. It only has one channel. Stereo requires two channels. Plus, you cannot wire 2 1-ohm DVC woofers as a 2-ohm total load. Your options are 0.25 ohms (all in parallel), 1 ohm (series-parallel), or 4 ohms (all in series).

No. Connect them as shown earlier in series as an 8-ohm load ontoyour amplifier bridged.

Your amp is rated at 230 watts X2 into 2-ohms. If you connect your speakers in parallel on one channel, this will deliver 230 watts to them, or 115 watts per speaker. Your amp is also rated at 150 watts X 2 into 4 ohms, which is teh same as 300 watts X 1 into 8 ohms. This will deliver 150 watts per speaker.

so, be clear, i can either run series on 1 channel or just hook up 1 sub per channel and it will put out the 150watts per speaker

No, not on one channel, but on BOTH channels BRIDGED. Do you have the owner's manual for the amp? It will show you how to do this. Or yes, simply connect each sub to its own channel on the amp.
