An amplifier that puts out X watts @ 4-ohm mono will put out 1/2 the power with less distortion in 2 separate channels @ 2 ohms for each channel. This means that you can run the SWS's in stereo and receive the same amount of power to each sub. This is why the 2-ohm versions of the subs were made and are probably the more purchased version.
example:
300 watts x 1 channel @ 4-ohm load
150 watts x 2 channel @ 2-ohm load
Both of those situations will power the subs equally.
