bridge the 2 channels by putting one wire to both possitives and one wire to both negative and then hook your sub up to one of the channels (pos to pos, neg to neg,) like this...

No hes talking about series, I think
Run them parallel, that amp should be 2ohm stable
Either connect the pos -pos and neg- neg insidebox or run 2 sets of speaker wire, run them both off the same pos and neg terminals (the ones that say bridge) on the amp and then just run one to each sub

damn thought i responded to this... OK if you get the amp you are only going to be able to run it at half power (or beyond the amps limits) so IMO unless its really cheap its not worth it. I see far to many people buying stuff that doesnt really fit then coming back later to get what they should of in the first place.
