alright, i bought a memphis pr.1000 so i could do something like this. 300 x1 @ 4ohm 600 x1 @ 2 ohm 1000 x1 @ 1 ohm. i would say they will be dvc. not sure what ohm. what are my options? and this amp is 1 ohm stable, but i never see amps advertising .5 ohm stable or anything. would this be capable of it?

distro block to hook up two subs?

What most people do is run the wire from each sub into the terminal from the amp's one channel.

So you have 2 wires going into 1 terminal.

It's not as clean as if you use a distro block... but it's more efficient and cheaper.

most amps (even monos) have at least 2 sets of terminals for speakers.

well im not sure how how i can hook them together. it is two seperate boxes on two seperate sides of my truck. so are you saying twist two wires together and put them into my amp terminals? and my amp is a monoblock, and only has terminals for one speaker
