Request for help with ohmage

Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to run 4 8 ohm subs together into one mono block amp to create a 2 ohm load.
I have 4 PPI pro flat piston 12" 8 ohm subs and don't know what amp to buy so I thought I'd ask the forum before I spend some hard earned cash.
Thanks in advance

Four 8 ohm subs wired in parallel = 2 ohm. Your ideal amp is going to be one that provides the power you want into a 2 ohm load. The amp will be a mono type amp and stable to either 2 or 1 ohm.
