The 1501D from MTX is a mono amplifier, meaning one channel, not two.

It does it's power at 2ohm's, so therefore, you'd want a pair of 2ohm DVC drivers.

You'd wire them to your amp like this (to present a 2ohm load) :

are you sure. im not trying to test your knowledge or anything but i thought it was 2 channels because there are t sets of positive and negatives to hook up the speaker wire to. just wondering

There are two sets of inputs on lots of mono amplifiers. You only need to use one.

2 Ohm Load 1500 w x 1

4 Ohm Load 750 w x 1

In that case, why don't you just wire the 2 subs seperately? One sub to each pair of terminals, that way if you experience any wire shortage or any problems in one set of wires you'll only need to mess with those? Just my opinion, I try to keep things simple.

It is a mono amp but they make it simplier for you by making two connections. Go with what ss3079 suggested and wire them like that diagram.
