what´s the difference between a 2ohm mono load and a 2ohm stereo.. been seing some specs on an amp and they have for 2ohm stereo and different (more powerful) for a 2ohm mono...
and how can you get a 2ohm stereo and a 2ohm mono???????
What they mean by mono is if you bridge the amp. Bridging the amp makes it only have 1 channel and so it's used for subwoofers. Bridging doubles the voltage AND it doubles the current, so it increases power by 2*2=4 (P=IV, P=(2I)(2V)). Because of this, the output devices are taking more abuse and so they can only run a load that is half as much as a single channel (less load = less current (measured in amps), not less resistance (measured in ohms)). If an amp is 2 ohm stereo stable, you can bridge it into 4 ohms only.

Let me clarify there: it makes 2 channels into 1 channel. You can't bridge more than 2 channels together. So a 2chan amp can run as 2ch or 1ch bridged. A 4ch amp can run as 4ch, 3ch (bridge 2 to make 1, don't bridge the other 2...used to run subs and rear speakers at the same time), or 2ch (bridge 2 to make 1, the other 2 to make the other 1) etc.

a 2 ohm stereo load would be if you've got a dual 4-ohm DVC sub with the voice coils wired in parallel, going to each channel of the amp. Thus each channel is seeing a 2 ohm load, but since the channels are still operating independently of each other, they call it a stereo load.
A 2 ohm mono load is what dragonrage said--it's when you bridge the amplifier.
