[QUOTE="Martenjp, post: 2334489, member: 571806"] Thank you lilmaniac for taking the time to provide such a useful response. Your insight makes those of us new to this forum embarassed and apologetic for our inferiority. Actually, I think I have a decent understanding of impedence and how series, parallel, and multiple speaker wiring affects the load the amps sees. I was just having a hard time figuring out what load a mono amp would see if two subs were wired to two speaker outputs that in reality represent one channel of output. Wasn't sure if it would double the load or cut it in half. The way I understand it now, hooking each sub up individually to different terminals on the mono amp would be the same as wiring them parallel to one output terminal. With the speakers in the example they could be wired to a load of 1ohm or 4ohms if I use both output terminals. [/QUOTE]
