or just someone tell me what would be the best way to hook up 2 house subs up to my amp. both speakers are 150 watt RMS and 300 peak.my amp is

Legacy Blue Diamond Series #LA2080 2-Channel 2400 Watt Amp
* 2 x 200 Watts RMS @4 Ohms
* 2 x 320 Watts RMS @2 Ohms
* 2 x 1200 Watts Max Output
* 1 x 2400 Watts Bridge Mode

should i hook it up wit 4 ohms or 2 ohms. what would make the speakers have more bass ?

ok your not going to get 2 ohms from 2 home speakers but you can get 4ohms because your home speakers are normaly 8 ohms so if you hook them up in perallel then you well have 4 ohm witch is as low as it well get unless you get more subs but then you need more watts

i dont really know how to hook it up parallel but tell me if this is right.

negative from speaker A to negative from speaker B to negative on the amp.

positive from speaker A to positive from speaker B to positive on the amp.

would i bridge these speakers when i plug them into the amp or just plug it in regular or what ?

ok lets say that i have an amp that is

1000 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms

so that means if i hooked up a speaker at 2 ohms it would be 1000 Watt rms. but lets say i hooked up two 4 ohm subs and hooked them up parallel to get 2 ohms would that mean i get 500 watts rms to each speaker or would i still get 1000 watt rms to each speaker ?
