It depends on how much watts the subs can handle. What you could do is bridge them, which is to take both pasitive and negitive wires that are coming from the subs and tie the pasitive to the positive and the negitive to the negitive, then put the positive wires and put them on one connector and then take the negitive wires and put them on the opposite side. Doing this will give you the most out of your amp.

translation:

run your subs in parallel to show a 2 ohm (if 2 4 ohm speakers) to the amp, increase souput makes amp work arder

Yeah thanks for the translation, I know the way that I said it was kind of confusing.

i am no fool.

my subs are dvc 2 ohms

if i bridged them in my 2 ohm stable amp it would drop it to 1ohm and cut off like a motha


i have 1 sub on each channel

i am running 400x2@2ohms or 800x1 bridged@4ohms

or i could wire each coil of 1 subwoofer to each channel of the amp and push 400 to each coil thus giving 800 watts to my 1 woofer

i have 2 hookups on each speaker.

i have them daisy chained to each other and then run into 1 channel on the amp.
