That means that you cannot present the amp less than a 4 ohm load if you bridge it.

No worries with being a novice. We all started there ourselves...

What brand and model # amp are we talking about?

If you have two 4ohm subs, you will not be able to bridge the amp to 4 ohms. You can run the subs in series and bridge it to 8 ohms, but I would suggest just running one sub off each channel..

According to the manual (available on Legacy's website in .pdf format here) that amp will do 150 watts per channel RMS @ 4 Ohms. I doubt you'll actually get that much usable wattage out of it as Legacy has an annoying tendency to overrate their gear to some degree but I think your best bet with 200w RMS-rated subs your best bet is going to be running one sub off of each channel @ 4 Ohms as already suggested by jujumantb

Well, so long as it works at least it was priced appropriately. (You'll find that Legacy products aren't particularly popular around here and are generally considered junk)

Does that mean just hook it up normal 1 speaker to a set of terminals?
