To run the amp at 2ohms, here are the easiest and most common choices:
(1) Use 2ohm speakers and hook them up in stereo (normal). If your amp is rated at 500x1 @2ohms, each speaker will be receiving approximately 250w (rated).
(2) Bridge a 4ohm circuit (hook up the speakers parallel, series, whatever you want so that the total impedence of the circuit is 4ohms) to the amp. In essence, you're combining the amps 2 channels into 1 channel. Each channel will "see" half of the ohm load, 2ohms in this case. You divide the total watts by number of speakers in the circuit to get the approximate power each will see. If you've got 2 speaks, each one will get ~250w.
I prefer bridging the amp to a 4ohm circuit (method #2).
Alright, now that we've got through that, here's a little warning. NEVER EVER EVER bridge a 2ohm load (such as two 4ohm speaks in parallel) to an amp that is not rated to run at 2ohm mono (same as 1ohm in stereo).
You will fry your amp. It might not be today or tomorrow (or maybe ever if the mfgr REALLY underrates their amps), but there is a great chance that it will damage your system.
I'm pretty sure that MTX amp won't like a 2ohm mono/1ohm stereo load. They are small in size and run hot, which really increase the chance of burning something up.
