well man it all depends on ur subs. single or dual voice coil? and what ohm are they. lets say u have an 8 ohm DVC sub ud take one pos from one side and goto the neg. "jumper" them. then that leaves u 1 pos and 1 neg out of the box. do the same for the other sub. now u have TWO 4 ohm loads IF u connect them together u get a 2 ohm load(pos to pos and neg to neg). now if u bridge it on the amp pos to one chanel and neg to other channel u now are running at one ohm..

!!!!!!!!!!!WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maddog,
Checkout some websites like the one listed above or rockfordfosgate.com. What was posted on the first reply is totally bass ackwards. Jumpering a DVC sub as stated will put the voice coils in series and double the ohm load, 8+8=16. He was right about connecting the 4 ohm loads in parallel to get a 2 ohm load. But, connecting this 2 ohm load to a bridged amp WILL NOT run it as a 1 ohm load, it will still be a 2 ohm load.
