wire each sub in series, and then wire the pair in parallel

will running at 1ohm be safe on that amp?

oops, lol

you'll have to wire in series, 1ohm would not be safe with that amp

so that'll have the amp only running at 4 ohm?

how would i be able to get it to run at 2 w/o getting another sub

you can't, not with a dual 2ohm sub

isnt that amp suppose to be 1 ohm stable

you may be right, it doesn't have an rms power rating at 1ohm, it doesn't say that it's 1ohm stable, but it has that maximum power handling at 1ohm thing at the bottom. Then again it also says "bridged maximum power handling @ 1ohm" and it's a mono amp which means it can't be bridged....so I'm not sure what to think.
