I would like to know,how ohms work on a 2channel 4ohm amp.
Which of the below connections are correct,please correct me as I'm confused with 2 channel and 4 channels.
1) Two 4ohm speakers on each channel
2) Two 2ohms speakers on each channel
3) Two 2ohm speakers in seriers bridged on amp
it makes more sense with mono amps.

Do it once,do it right - This means no short cuts. You never get paid twice for having to do the job twice because it wasn't done right the first time.

1 and 3 are fine. Statement #2 only works if you wire them in series.
I am assuming that you are talking about a 2 channel amp that is 4 ohm mono stable.

What ohm load is on the amp if I wire it as #1
The stable part,does it means if the amp can only handle a 4ohm load?

2 ohm per channel which is the same exact load as a 4 ohm mono load.
