It's a mono amp...with a pair of 4ohm svc subs your options are 2 or 8 ohm loads. Go with 2

Just for grins I put one of those subs (12") in a sealed enclosure on a JL 1000/1....I think I may have overpowered it. lol
It made some mean mechanical noises before it grenaded. lol

Nothing like the sound of a melted voice coil moving up and down the magnet huh?

yeah it says mono amp but has to spots for speaker outputs.

+- +- on the amp, so if i just wired the 2 subs together then just ran speaker wire from 1 sub to the amp that should be 2ohm right?

plus if my amp is rated at 250rms x1 @2ohm that is the power that is going to both speakers? or 250rms to each?

and if my subs are 150rms @ 4ohm what would they be @ 2ohm?

Power is divided into voice coils. 2 VC's...250 watts...125 per sub.
Wire it like that...you'll be fine.

You can definitely distort a cone with power.
