Question

Ok got the amp part. But which of the diagram that you showed me will make my subs hit harder?
as long as they are being fed appropriate power for the specific subs wiring them to an overall 4 Ohm load or a 1 Ohm load won't make any appreciable audible difference.

The main difference to running them at either 4 Ohms nominally or 1 Ohm nominally is that running at amp on a 4 Ohm load will allow the amp to run much cooler than it would at 1 Ohm (cooler operation = a good thing, longer amp lifespan, less chance of burning something up internally, etc etc)

 
ok I'm lost. Which diagram shows my subs running at the 1 ohm?
The top diagram which shows a final load of 1 Ohm very clearly labeled.
So a two channel amp a least 1600 watt is two ohms?
An amp isn't any certain Ohm load. It is rated (built) to operate safely at one or more resistance loads (Ohm loads). The resistance load presented to the amplifier is entirely dependant on the voice coil configuration of the sub(s) being used and the manner in which they are wired.
If you chose a 2-channel amp you'd most likely want to run it as a single-channel in mono bridged mode. Most 2-channel amps are not stable lower than 4 Ohms when bridged so in that case you would want to use the lower diagram's wiring option.

Edit: My food from Johnny's Pizza just showed up. I'll be back later if you have further questions that no one else wants to help with. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
