Hey,
Im new into car audio. I have a 1 0hm stable amp and was wondering what ohm subs to get. Since the amp has 2 sets of speaker outputs would i wire each sub to each output at 1 ohm?

The amp says that it puts out 2000 watts at 1 ohm, so is that for each speaker output or is that together, so 1,000 a piece?

just checked the link and for some reason it goes to 2 2ohm dvc, just scroll down to bottom where it says 2 subs, dual 4ohm.

No, the amp i have is a mono amp, but has 2 speaker outputs, so could i wire one sub to each output. You know what i mean?

mono means just that 1. the 2 speaker outputs just makes it easier to wire and the amp will auto bridge the 2 outputs....
