Linking Amps Question

So lets say you have a final load of 1 Ohm, if you have two amps linked with this final load, is the load of the linked amps 2 ohms?

Sorry I don't know how to word this.

if i'm understanding the question right. I think the final load to the amps would be .5. My amps which strap can only have a final ohm load of 2 because each amp would see a 1 ohm load.

you take your final load and divide by 2 to see how much your amps are seeing

ok, so if i was running a final load of 1 ohm on a pair of strapped amps, each amp is seeing .5 ohms.

so when i look at something like this...

should I have a final load of 2 ohms to get the rating? I probably won't be using these amps, its just an example.
