dual-2 ohm sub can only be wired to 1 or 4 ohms. You'd have to get another one to run a 2 ohm load. Check here for wiring tutorials.

the amp has two sets of speaker outputs yes but it is still only a single channel amp. That is only there for convience of hooking up two subs to it. You would only use one side or the other .. not both for a single sub. You need to wire it to a 4ohm load and just hook it up to one of the outputs.

what happens when i use the 2 sets for the one sub?

prolly **** something up. Its used like this. Lets say you have a 4 ohm SVC sub.. ok you just hook it up to one output and you are done. Ok later down the road you get another 4 ohm SVC sub. All you have to do is plug that into the 2nd output and bam you now have a 2ohm load shared between the subs.
