Yes, it is possible but it depends on your amp and ohms of your speaker. If you are talking about speaker as in 6x9 or components, then most likely they are 4 ohm. You can wire them speaker down to 2 or 8 ohm but you have to make sure your amp can handle 2 or 8 ohm mono (bridged). Most amp I know doesn't. And also, running your speakers at 2 ohm doesn't sound as "clean" as in 4 ohm. But if you talking about subwoofer, then it's a different story.

i am talking about subs

Check your amp and see what it can handle. A 200 Watt for example mihgt say 50X2 at 4ohms stereo and then may say 200X1 at 2ohms. Also check and see if your subs have single or dual vi=oice coils. For more information about how to wire them up then check out this link from JL Audio.
