dual 4 - wired at either 2 or 8

dual 2 wired at 1 or 4

since amps usually put out more power the lower the impedance, you can get more power for your $ using a 2 ohm sub or a 1 ohm sub

example, an amp might have these specs

100x1 @ 4 ohms

200x1 @ 2 ohms

400x1 @ 1 ohm

but not all amps are stable at 2 ohms or 1 ohm, so you might ruin the amp if you try and use a 2 ohm sub or 1 ohm sub (but most monoblocks(single channel amps) are stable to at least 2 ohms) you just have to look at the amps specs. if it doesnt list specs at 2 ohms or 1 ohm, its probably not stable at those impedances
