Ohms are a way to measure the resistance of an electrical current. Each speaker has a certain resistance, and by hooking them up in different ways, you can either increase or decrease the ohm load. Greater power can be achieved at lower ohms.

i applaud you on a most powerful amp my friend. PA = great stuff. Your able to wire the sub and amp via wiring. say teh sub is a DVC 2ohm. Thats means you have to wire it in either series or parallel. Meaningpositive to neg to pos to neg. You'll be given a load of 4 ohms on the amp. the next is parallel meaning the wiring is set to pos to pos and neg to neg, the wiring is in the form of a parallel configuration. I don;t explain ti very well but this will help:
