What are you tryin to do? Whats the coil config on the sub and the load you wanna give the amp?

I want a 2ohm load and the subs dual 1 ohm

Just run each coil to the amp, the amp will give it the 2 ohm load. the amps are internally bridged. Or you can series one coil to the other then to one set of terminals on the amp...

oo ok it didn't come in the mail yet, i thought i was only going to have one set of push terminals

It looks like 2 from what i see on the amps specs...

Yes

I think you are getting confused by the amp. It has two outputs, but it is still a single channel amp. Both the positive terminals are linked together and both the negative terminals are linked together, effectively giving you only one set of terminals. The reason they gave you two is for convenience, some people use very large speaker wire, and when you parallel it you have to sometimes shove two wires in one terminal, which can be difficult.

Anyway... what I'm trying to say is for wiring in series (what you need for a 2 ohm load) you will only need to use one of the positive terminals and one of the negative ones. It doesn't matter which of the two you use because they are linked together internally.

i did this and check the pos neg on the amp and it reads 1.5 is this right?

Yeah, a 2 ohm nominal load will be closer to 1.5 DC resistance. Make sure you do NOT connect the + and - together on the amp. It will go into short protection.
