how do you set up the wiring for running mono? I have heard it talked about sounds like the thing to do. could i get alittle help? Also I,m planning to do this to my 2 ,8" rockford fosgates RFS-1408 4 ohm, and my JBL amp {not sure whatsize but it pushed my 10" JL ok} . I have a kenwood KDC-969 head unit.

Oh yeah don't know if this would go here,but, I was planing on pointing so led light's at the speakers. Can I use the remote wire { form the head unit} for the amp and the leds so they turn off when the amp turns off with out a problem?

wire the leds seperately, and put them on a switch, that way you have more control over them and they don't have to be on in the daytime

You need to be sure the amp is stable into two ohms bridged. Post the amp model so we can be sure to give you the right advice.

JBL BP 150.1 is a mono amplifier stable at 2 ohms minimum load. No matter what you conenct to it, it is mono.

So if i put 1 speaker to the right side set of speaker connects and the same to the other it will still run mono?

The amplifier does not have "left and right" outputs. It has one output with two connection points. Yes, if you use both connection points it places the speakers in parallel and in mono on the amp, and results in a 2-ohm load @ 150 watts total output.
