help with ohm on my amp running 2 subs off it

[ccapital83 10+ year member]

if i run 2 subs that are each dvc2ohm so each sub will be wired at 1 ohm load. with my brutus amp it has 2 channels so if i connected both subs thaat way would the amp then see a .5 ohm load which i clearly dont want? if so im assuming id have to run these subs at 4 ohms each to create a final 2 ohm load? is this correct or will 2 subs @ 1 ohm each on a mono amp not drop the ohms past 1? help much appretiated!

with that amp you'll need to run the subs at 4 ohms stereo

As mentioned by Mylows..you will have to run @2ohms mono on a pair of dvc2ohm subs to get the most out of the amp and subs

That is a 1 channel amp, and your best option is, option 2 in the subwoofer wiring link given above. The 2 pair of terminal on the amp is wired parallel internally, so it's one output.
