Ok, I have the JBL GT 1201.1 II amp. It can be wired into 4ohms, or 2ohms stable. Now It has two speaker terminals, like a 2ch amp would, and the instructions said its for easier hook up for multiple subwoofers. So I have 2 4ohms SVC and I want to hook down into 2ohms, but since the amp has 2 inputs, if I put each subwoofer on there own input, is it going to down it to 2 automaticly? or what. Kinda get what i'm sayin, its kinda hard. I will post a pic if you need help. My last question, is is there a problem with mixing a 10" woofer and a 12" woofer, both 4ohms SVC, and could be wired down to 2ohms. Would that work or just mess things up? Let me know.

Yes, the speaker outputs are parallel inside the amp. Therefore, whatever you hook to one +/- is parallel to the other.

Mixing sizes and/or brands and/or models is never advised, but if you try it and you're satisfied then I guess that's all that matters.
