Prob dumb but....

Can I take a mono channel amp and use 2 subs with it, i'm thinking that the watts would cut in half, is this true and how would i go about wiring them together?

Yes

Yes

Depends on what OHMS the amp is Stable at (ie. 1 ohm, 2 Ohms, or 4 Ohms)

What model amp do you have?

No question is dumb. And as crispin said, you are correct.

As Crispin said, how it gets wired is dependent on what subs and which amp.

you can run upwards of 8 if you have the right VC configuration and wiring knowledge..with an amp that can handle a low enough impedance.

So the watts will get divided half? Well I have 2 Aw1206T's with dual 4 ohm coils. If I have a 5000 watt at 2 ohms for an amp, will it be 2500 to each?

wiring two dual 4 vc subs would be one ohm all together. i do not know alot about audioban but i know they say they are 1100 rms but i do not believe that even if its true thats a total of 2200 rms and 4k peak. when you are playing your music daily. you want to put 2200 rms amp on it not a 4000 watt amp or 5000, where did you get 5000 from?i highly doubt that sub is 1100 rms. wait for some other info from ppl to see what they say about theses.

A pair of dual 4 ohm subs can be wired as either a 1 ohm or 4 ohm combination. And yes, whatever power is given them will be split between them.

It's possible to run way more than 8....
