Could anyone suggest the best wireing method to get best performance from this sub? Reason for such a strange combination is space limitation. Thanks for the help!

That sub is rated for 200 watts RMS.  They make two versions, a DVC 2-ohm and a DVC 4-ohm.  Which do you have?  In either case you'll have to wire the voice coils in series to create the maximum load possible.  If you have the 2-ohm version you will load the amp at 4-ohms, and it will produce at least 300 watts.  Adjust the gain DOWN about 50% from normal to be safe.  If you have the 4-ohm version you will load the amp at 8-ohms.  It will produce about 150 watts, so you can set the gain normally.
