what kinda amp,,,some amps say they are 2 ohm stable but realy arnt ,,,realy only top quality amps should be run at two ohms,,,or it will be short term

[dusterbd]

its in a buddies car. its a boss audio. i was assuming since they claimed it was one ohm stable, itd be safe for two. what do you say?

it would probobly work,,but would be short lived,,,and suck alot of amperage

U are mixing 2 issues.
Issue 1
How do U wire the subs up for a 2 ohm load?
Assuming the subs are 4 ohm, wire the plus terminal of sub 1 to the plus of sub 2. Next wire the minus terminal of sub 1 to the minus of sub 2, then take 1 wire from the sub's plus and connect to the amp (+terminal) then do the same for sub's minus terminal and connect to the amp (- terminal).

Issue 2
The boss amp may not have enough power @ 2 ohms but try it, typically the lower cost amps have little current and are not satisfactory for subs. To connect U want it to be in a bridged (mono) mode check the info carefully either the manual or markings on the speaker terminals.

If after getting everything running check the amp's temperature, if really hot U better turn it down or consider upgrading
the amp.....
