Since the subs are dual 4 ohm, you might overload the amp wiring the subs in parallel at 2 ohm since the amp is only 4 ohm stable X 2.
Wiring the subs in series will get you 8 ohm which is safe, but the output power will be lower.
See my site for more info on this matter http://spkrbox1.spaces.live.com

In a way you have the wrong subs for a bridgable 4 channel amp. If they were dual 2 ohm voicecoils I would run each in sub in series bridged amp giving you 425 watts x2 at a four ohm load. I doubt that amp can run bridged to 2 ohms and bridging subs at 8ohms is kind of a waste (225?w x2) at 8ohms. Thats a great amp for subs please send back the subs and find yourself either a pair of dual VC 2ohmers or a pair of single VC 4 ohm subs. ALso look at JL AUdio and Image DYnamics for better subs.
But as it stands, I would run stereo subs, one to each channel at 2 ohms ( the rears) and get yourself a good comp set so you can use the front two channels on that amp.

there a perfect fit. wire the amp as such.
you should have 2 seperate terminals on the amp. a left and right on each terminal. wire one terminal up to the sub using left + and right -. that will give you about 400 watts to that sub. do the same to the other woofer, on the other terminal.
good luck.

Your best bet that when in question, double up.
Meaning that beond the salesman and hipe, heat and raw power are the major destroyers of such systems, so in reality one tinny amp for each speker will produce more bang for the buck than bullshit, allways remember that garbage in equals garbage out, if you feed $19.95 in you will get $20.95 out.
Quit trying to impress your girlfrend and listen to the actual sound.
My fave test is 2112
