I have 2 12" Audiobahn AWC12T's. The amp I am using is a Lightning Audio Strike S.300.

Lightning Audio Strike S2.300:
90wx2 @ 4ohms
170wx2 @ 2ohms
340wx1 @ 4ohms

Audiobahn AWC12T:
dual 4-ohm voice coils
power range 50-500 watts RMS (250 watts per coil)
peak power handling 1,000 watts

I need to know the best(most bump) yet safest(least blown speakers) way to hook them up.

A diagram would rock!

Use this diagram and hook them up with whatever impedance that amp is rated for:

You could wire both subs to a channel each (parralel) givin 170wrms each

or Wire both subs (parralel/series) to one channel mono givin 340wrms between the 2.it really doesnt matter which way you go but 4 ohm may give a tiny bit more sound quality.
