The amp puts out power into a load, it does not create the load. The load is determined by the speaker impedence in ohms and the number of speakers used. What speakers are you trying to hook up (model#, make) so we can check the impedence (list it if you know it)

Still not quite enough info. These subs are available in a number of different voice coil configurations. Do you know what the configuration is of the subs you have. IE: SVC 4 ohm, DVC 2ohm, DVC 4ohm, DVC6ohm.
