Well it looks OK from a load perspective, a series parallel setup will net you approx. 1.5ohm. The problem I see is that you run the risk of underpowering the subs, a quick look at the JL Audio site shows that 500rms is on the low limits of output levels where they do not recommend use. It would appear that you are safely over that. The amp You have is a real good old school Kicker, I think it will work fine. Just make sure that amp can get the current that it requires and you should be quite happy.
