This is ONLY possible if your speakers are SVC...if they are DVC, you're only option is to wire them at a 4 ohm load.

If your speakers are SVC, just connect speaker wires from the amp to the terminals and it will be wired as 2 ohm.

If they are DVC, you'll need to pull the speakers out and run a "jumper" from 1 negative to the other coil's positive, and connect opposing +/-'s to the terminal and then hook up the amp just like the above (see the diagram I posted for 4 ohm load).

I thought the way it works is that if the amp puts out 200 watts at a 2 ohm load, it will be 200 watts to every speaker it's hooked up to as long as it's a 2 ohm load...am I wrong?

it depends on the amp this amp states 200 watts RMS x1 its a mono amp regardless of how many speakers you hook up its still x1

now if this amp stated 200 watts RMS x 2 it would be per channel for a total of 400 watts

its not a 400 watt amp thats peak power witch really means nothing the RMS rating is the constant wattage it will produce in this case 200 watts RMS x1

you should never buy an amp by what the "max" or "peak" power rating is, its really is all about the RMS rating ask around or maybe some one else will chime in.

if you look on the MTX website it does not even have the peak wattage listed only the RMS, dont get me wrong its not a bad amp its just not what your thinking
