just parrell them, hook up both positives to the left + channel on the amp and both negatives to the right - channel on the amp. Those subs are only avalible in 4 ohms unless you do a special order.

The subs are 2 or 8 ohm depending on the wiring

Wire the subs at 8 ohms (voice coils in series) and place these in parallel onto the bridged amp for a net 4-ohm load (the amp's minimum stable rating when bridged.)

Oh sh*t, I dint see they are dual voice coil. I sell the reference stuff and never have had the dual voice coils in stock. Just do like DYohn said and ignore my stuff
