Quick wiring help with MD2

Ok my Us Amp Merlin came in today and i need to hook it up to my SI mag's As many know it is a dual mono block and im looking to get a 2 ohm load as of right now. i would do .5 but my electrical isnt upgraded as of yet and i dont want to push it yet. i need to know how to wire it to the amp, never dealt with a dual mono block so no idea whats goin on. I was thinking power(amp) to power(VC 1) neg(amp) to neg(VC ), then power(VC 2) to neg(VC 1). each subwoofer like that on one channel correct?

Theres a wiring tutorial on the forum.

Also one on the jl site and the rockford site.

I think the tutorial on the forum is just wiring subs? think he's asking about the inputs on the amp

oh man someone made a thread earlier this month about this.

A mono block means it is mono and not dual like you are saying. It is wired parralel inside the amp already so pretty much no matter how you wire it, it is still ONE channel. Look at the tutorial in the wiring section and wire your subs to 2ohm if that is what you want the load to be.

EDIT: I think i'm right, someone will chime in if im wrong.

I have a feeling that guy who did post that thread is going to be very upset.

lol i remember that thread now..with the big font and everything haha. my amp has 4 inputs for the sub (mono amp) O O O O, right now my sub is wired parallel and the 2 ends are in the 1st and the 3rd hole, anything wrong with that, and are there certain holes/order you're supposed to use?
