Can subs be hooked seperately like on 2 channels or only as a single unit? Does anyone know if they are 2 8OHM in parrallel to make it 4OHM or what?

No they can't without re-wiring them. On the back of the box there is just one spot for connecting to the subs. Yes that is correct. They are two 8 ohm subs wired in parrallel to achieve the 4 ohms.

You can find various ways to wire 3 subs online. I have 2 wired to 1 ohm, but not sure about 3

It's basically saying if you split it and run two channels you will split the power. I run it into a single channel 4x10 cabinet. Plenty loud with that. The lower the ohms the more power directed to the channel.

If the receiver has two preouts it is meant for two separate subs. If just running one sub on your system then you just need to use one cable from your receiver to your sub and leave the other preout alone.

How many voice coils do you have that amp works well at 2ohm or 4ohm. If your sub is dual voice coils it can be wired down to a lower ohm so you can pull the max RMS/watts from the amp

If your amp can handle a 4 ohm load that means you can hook two 8 ohm speakers up per side. That's 8+8 =4 ohm. You Re fine as long as the total resistance of your speakers are 8 ohm speakers.IF you run two 4 ohm speakers per side you get 2 ohms etc.You could also wire the two 8 ohm speakers I a series and get 16 ohms. To learn more about properwiring and Ibm's law you can find it at 12volt.com

Dude any amp will work with your subs but I'd you want the most power wire your subs to one ohm. I have two infinity 12 inch dual voice cola hooked up to this running one ohm resistance and it's so loud it out powers my speakers if I crank it

It is a quite impressive 5 channel amp for the size and price. It will power as many subs as you would like provided you can wire them correctly(ohms law). Although I would agree with josh below, one is probably best. I am using one dual voice coil sub at 2omhs It only has one sub channel output if that is your question. I was so impressed with this amp when I bought it for my truck, I bought two more, one for the Camaro and one for the boat. I threw away or gave away every other amp I had.

It's dual 4 ohm ,and yes you can change the wiring to make it what you need...in it's current state it is 4 ohm stereo, you can parallel the wires for a single 8ohm load or series them for a single 2 ohm load...hope this helps.

Technically you could get a 2 channel amp to run a pair of speakers and subwoofers. However, I don't believe this is the best way as you have no control of the speaker or sub volume level if their sensitivities aren't a match, which likely they won't be. As Troy mentioned, you'd have to use a passive crossover (around 80 Hz or so) to route the upper signals to the speakers and lower signals to the subwoofers. My recommendation would be to get two amps or buy the Inuke NU4-6000, which has 4 channels and would work perfectly for your equipment.

Yes, you can hook up 2 subs connect them togeather , but one thing its better to have an extra battery for this amp to itself because if you hoook it up to ur car battery and whe u step on it it takes alot from ur battery to your amp and your car is going to die cause its too much watts fo that battery

If your subs are 4 ohm, then yes you can wire them in parallel to make a 2 ohm load. You should get roughly 450 to 500 watts per sub. Keep the bass boost off and the gains turned down and your good to go.

as long as the ohm load for both subs are no less then 1ohm yes the amp will work from 1 to 8 ohms

These come in pairs but are not suitable for subs. I would look at a different product.

This is a dual coil sub so I'm assuming it is 2 ohms if you run the two coils in parallel and 8 ohms each side. This doesn't quite work out, you're right, as it should be two 4 ohm coils (which is how I see it described on sites that sell it) that in parallel is 2 ohms or in series is 8 ohms. I built my own box to the sealed box specs (remarkably small) and am driving it in stereo (though my head unit has a dedicated sub setting for outputs which may sum to mono on its own) with a 1000watt stereo amp and I assumed it was 4ohm per side. It sounds amazing in my little car, as a matter of a fact it took me forever to get the sub balanced with the rest of the system because it is amazingly efficient so I kept turning down the sub out as well as the amp trim and finally settled on running it with a 150hz cutoff instead of 75hz. Hope this helps.

Why would u want this sub wired at 8 ohms, if anything u should wire it down to 2 ohms

You could wire it that way running some in series and some in parallel if you know what you're doing, but getting good balance might be tricky. For example, you could run 4x6 in series with a 6.5 on each of the two front channels, the 6x9s on the back channels, then run the sub channel bridged with the 8s in series in parallel to the 12s in series. You'd probably be louder and sound better just ditching the 4x6s and 8s though and using the amp like it was meant to be used. I run 4 6.5s and 1 12 and its retardedly loud
