If the SVC subs in question have a single 2 Ohm coil then you can run each to one channel of a 2 channel amp and those channels be outputting their rated 2 Ohm stereo output.

You can also bridge a 2 channel amp to a single, mono channel but this method generally requires no lower than 4 Ohms nominal load being presented to the amp. Again, if you have a pair (2) of SVC subs and each respective sub has a 2 Ohm coil you can wire these in series to a 4 Ohm load and run them with a bridged 2-channel amp.

Either option is going to require those single coils each be 2 Ohms nominal.

Edit: What SVC subwoofers are we talking about, exactly? If they are SVC 4 Ohm subs (as I suspect they are) would 150 watts each be enough to drive 'em? If so have a look here and scroll down to the 440SX. 150w X 2 mono bridged for only $47 + shipping with a valid factory warranty. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i looked at the wiring options on rockford fosgate.com and found out that if i have 2 svc 4ohm subs then i can wire it to bring a 2 ohm load to the amp. Will this work with a 2 channel amp?????? please help
