how to wire amp
thanks for the detailed pic boog haha. the way i have it is the subs wired normal and the pos from both running into the pos terminal and the same with the neg. i guess it has the same results at the end?? i use to be really big into car audio when i was younger and have really lost my touch. this sucks

you can potentially burn up your amp. you have to find out the resistance of those subs. if they are 4 ohm, your amp will be seeing 1ohm, which will most likely overheat.
when you parallel your subs (the method boogers told you) the resistance is cut in half. when you bridge your amp the amp will see half the resistance, hence 1 ohm for 4 ohm subs.
for that setup to work without the potential for your amp to burn up, you need 8 ohm subs or have one sub for each channel.

Given that diagram and those subs being 8ohm SVC....the amp would be seeing a 4ohm load.
If those subs in the diagram were 4ohm, then the amp would be seeing a 2ohm.
Correct me if I am wrong.

Yes you are fine. Just make sure you have it hooked to the right terminals on the amp. It should be labeled bridged and show you where the wires will go.

I know. Each channel "sees" half the load. On a four ohm bridged load each channel will act like it has a 2 ohm load for a 4 ohm total load (2 ohms on one channel + 2 ohms on the other = 4 ohms total). But anyways thats not very important. Not something i would really worry about. In the end as long as the final load is the same as what the amp is rated for in that mode (bridged, stereo whatever) or higher it will be fine.
Again yes the way B00gers illustrated is perfect for that amp.
