[QUOTE="n2audio, post: 4090155, member: 540940"] you don't have to use both speaker terminals on the amp - not all mono's have two anyway. If you do use them both -- they are parallel inside the amp. That means you can wire each sub's coils in parallel resulting in 2 ohms and connect each sub to its own terminal on the amp which would give you the 1 ohm final load. Alternatively you can just connect all the (-)'s and all the (+)'s and only run one +/- to the amp. Yes, the amp needs to equal the total rms of the subs. Ex., for a couple Type R's at 500w rms each you'd want an amp around 1000w rms at 1 ohm. Power doesn't have to be exact. [/QUOTE]
