    Okay, the subs and amp are not ideal matches. However, here is how you can wire it...

    Wire channel 1 of the amp to one side of the sub. Then take some extra wire and run it from that connection on the sub to the one on the other side of the sub. This is called Parallel Wiring and the amp will see 2ohms on channel 1. Repeat this process for sub 2 and channel 2. If channel 1 or channel 2 on the amp is blown, move to the next channel.

    There are some other ways you can do it, but this will deliver even power to each sub. This will run the 2 channels on the amp @ 2ohms. If you wire the subs together and bridge channel 1 & 2 together, you will get them same amout of power, but will be more to wire. So the first way is better because it will be easier to wire for one, but each sub will have it's own speaker wire to allow better power flow.
