A wiring quesiton
Got a Rockford Fosgate 801S Specs say 200 watts x 2 4 ohm stereo, 800 watts 4 ohm mono, or 2x400 2 ohm stereo
So, If I run a single voice coil sub, run the negative on one channel, the positive off the next, then I would be getting 800 watts in 4 ohm mono with a single voice coil 4ohm sub? Because for some reason, I was thinking you either had to run 2 speakers or more, or dual voice coils to achieve mono mode.

Yes.
According to the 801s manual, you use the left channel positive and the right channel negative. Be sure both left and right gains are set the same:
