quick question...
If my amp says 4 ohm stable, does that mean i cant wire to 2 ohm stable?

What the hell do you meen, Im reaidn it as if the subs are wired for 3 ohm will the amp still be 4ohm. No you change the impendance but that doesnt change the amps ability to handle less resistance.
What amp and what subs so we can get an idea of what your working with.

I have the Profile AP2000 ... I dont have the subs yet, but i wanna get 2.. and have them wired to 1 channel..
Better yet... you look at that amp, you tell me 2 subs that you think are good and affordable.. and tell me how to wire them...

To get a 4 ohm load you will need to use parallel/series wiring. And the subs will have to be DVC 4ohm.
Unless you can find SVC 2 ohm then this will be the best way to bridge the amp.

here is a nice 15" if you are willing to change your mind on 2 12"s.

Well if its 4ohm dvc then you go 2 ohm on each channel. And if you notice some of the subs i listed where svc and have an rms close to what the amp pushes at 4 ohm.
You dont need 1000watts to make a sub pound, if you can get a sub with 300 rms and put even 250 to it you can make it pound.
Thats why i love these idiots that keep saying i have a 1200watt sub hooked up to a 1200 watt legacy amp.

well, most people don't know much about power and stereos in general. Unfortunately, all too many are installers and salesman

I agree somewhat with you. But I like to have some overhead on my amp. That's why I have three 150 rms subs on a 1500 rms amp. You just have to know how to set your gains. It can be very easy to clip a small amp when powering subs that can handle more power, resulting in a damaged sub.

Yes true but back to what you said be careful with the gains.
I was going on the fact that alot of newbs want subs rated at 2 million watts and the same with amp just because the bigger number sound like it will louder.
But i will agree a setup that can handle 1k watts will sound louder than one that handles 300.
