Just currious anybody know what will happen if you have a mono block amp with 4 speaker terminals and your sub is wired at 2ohms off the back of your enclosure and instead of running one positive and negative to one of the sets of terminals you run two sets of positive and negative and use all 4 terminals. Will the amp see a 1ohm load 4ohm load or will it be unchanged and stay at 2ohms

It remains unchanged - the terminals are joined internally.

A mono block amp is only 1 channel. The terminals are just for convenience. The 2 sets of + are internally connected together, and the 2) sets of - are internally connected together.
