Iif you're gonna do two subs and one amp, I would just run them on seperate channels (stereo) so that the wiring is easier, but I don't know your situation...

It all depends on the amp channels, power rating, and sub configuration

Mono is the optimum set up for subs. Yes you need to match the impedance of the sub to the amp but that can be changed often be changed by how the speakers are wired.

IN a car.... with stereo subs... doubt it. Especially if you have a good set of midbass speakers up front in kick pods.

people that use terms like EASIER TO RUN wires,are the type that pull up and you normally dont know they have a stereo.lol.Everyone knows if you have a REAL amp,it will be monoblock.

in summary it does not matter which way you run them - just match the impedance of your amp's highest power output.
