so im trying to run 2 pioneer premier TS-W3002D2 championship series subs which are 2 ohm dvc subs and a power acoustik stax 5500/1D which is a mono amp and is 1 ohm stable. the thing is the amp has 2 channels and is internally bridged so im looking for advice on how to wire the subs since each sub has to be ran to its own side here are the links to the products.also im running a power acoustik 30farad hybrid cap. please let me know asap since i will like to hook it all up this weekend.

It is a mono amp and only has one channel. It may have two connection points but this is only for hookup conveninece. Both sets of connectors are driven in parallel by one amplifier channel. I suggest you connect your subs as follows:

Seems you've found your "drip under pressure"...

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

The positive and neg of your amp are connected internally. So wire like the pic DYohn posted or wire each sub like pictured here and run one sub to one set of pos/neg. Its the same thing. Dyohn's option will use less wire. Your amp will see a 2ohm load either way. As DYohn stated there is more than one set for ease of installation.
