how do you wire a 2ch. amp to mono
Dude.. that's not cool. How else is he going to know? He's going to have to ask someone... anyways, are the subs single or dual voice coil? and are they 4 ohm, 2 ohm, or 8 ohm voice coils?
Last time I had this much fun some furniture got broken!

Im trying to get what amp he wants to do this with so we can him more information. what subs he has too would be nice.
if you have one sub then u just hook up the positive on the sub to the positive on ch 1. then hook the negative on the sub up to the negative on ch 2. I agree if you need to ask you shouldnt try it. Theres a chance u can screw your amp and sub up pretty quickly.
this may help:

Rep Power: 361 To recap: If your amp has ratings like this:
(XX) x 2 watts RMS @ 2 ohms
(XX) x 1 watts RMS @ 4 ohms
Then what you want is to wire them each like this to each channel:
or (BETTER)
Wire them like this and put the + wire on the channel 1 of the amp and the - wire on the channel 2 of the amp.
This set up has you running both subs off a combination of both channels which is the result of taking + from one amp channel and - from the other. This means mono sound.

Rep Power: 361 did that last post help? You understand now?
Reason I said don't do it if you have to ask is cause you dont want to blow your subs or your amp since PPI amps are nice!
