I have a USA-2000. I need help hooking everything up. I have 2 Orion H2's 12.4. Dual 4 ohm subs. Can someone help me? Someone told me the only way I can run those subs is if I do a 4-ohm load, but idk.

Is the amp a 1 or a 2 channel amp? What is the minimum safe operating impedance of the amp?

Let me see if I can answer you correctly. It says 2000W @ 2 Ohms. Then it says 1 Ohm: 1000 Watts, someone told me the 1 Ohm meant stereo not mono.

Watts Per Channel
250W @ 4 ohms, 500W @ 2 ohms, 1000W @ 1 ohm, Fuse 300AMP

1 Ohm has nothing to do with the number of channels. Let's try it this way. On the speaker terminals does it say left or right?

Is it a 2000.1?

It is a 2 channel amp. It has 2 positives and 2 negatives.
