i know this sounds silly but im trying to wire my mono amp for 2 ohms. I am running 2 4-ohm subs to it. I think the way to to dit is by wiring pos of each speaker to pos on amp but not sure cuz someone told me to wire it another way. Please help

Yes, connect the poss from the sub to the amp amn the neg to the neg to the amp, since mono amps are 1 channel, stack the 2 poss and the 2 neg on the amp.

i have a dual voice coil 4-ohm sub and have it wired like they say above and it presents a 2 ohm load.

pos of each sub to pos on amp, neg on each sub to neg on amp.

done.

While we are on this topic...could someone draw me a diagram of how I would run 2 4-ohm single voice coil subs down to 2 ohms from a mono amp

So I can just run each wire from each sub to the same port on the amp?

So can I just put both positives into the same port on the amp?

i wouldnt. Id run one wire to each sub and connect accordingly from there. I dont like runnin multiple wires into one connection on an amp. Lazy way to do it. And less connection. Unless you solder them together. :-)
