best way to connect subs to amp

Hi, i'm new to the car audio world and was hoping someone out there could help me out. Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated.

I have two Cerwin Vega 12" DVC HED124 subwoofers, rated at 300W rms and 4ohm per voice coil, and an Ice Power 3600W monoblock amp.

Specs that came with the amp manual state that it delivers the following power:

My question is what is the best way of connecting the subs to the amp without causing any damage to any of the equipment while still playing as loud as possible.

Thanks in advance.

The best way to do it is with wire.   The following is a diagram that might help you with the wiring of the subs to the amplifier.

Option 1 (parallel/parallel) = 1 ohm load Voice coils wired in parallel, speakers wired in parallel Recommended Amplifier: Stable at 1 ohm mono

Well I was going to agree with this, however it appears as though these subs are 300 watts total not 300 per coil. ( if I read the Cerwin Vega specs right. So that would mean each sub will be getting 750watts = 375/coil. Each coil can only handle 150watts. This will be bad unless you keep the gains waayyy down. It can be done, but the slightest abuse will release the magic smoke. You will need to run them paralel/series to put a 4ohm load on the amp but each sub will only be getting 200watts. IMHO that is the wrong amp to be using with those subs. The wattage for the amp is it RMS or max? You are either going to be badly underpowering or overpowering them and neither is good for them. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but you will never get the most of that amp with those subs.

This is going to be about the best way of doing it without the risk of damage to the subs.
