you didnt say what amp it is or model # but you can wire each coil of the sub to each channel on the amp or if the amp is 2 ohm stable bridged then connect the 2 positives of the sub to the positive of the amp (it should show which channels to use to bridge the amp for 1 channel) and then the 2 negatives of the sub to the negative on the amp

Your amp might might desire to assist stereo to mono bridging (which will provide you as much as 4x the capacity). yet except your amp's output can force a 2ohm (2 4ohm audio device under pressure in parallel) load without takin' a smoke, you will possibly might desire to apply in straight forward terms one 4ohm speaker, or 2 in sequence (being specific to maintain the section best) yet that would provide you 8 ohms and much less capacity. If it have been me, i might take what I had right into a keep and notice in the event that they had make a equitable high quality commerce... to get the best units for the pastime. Why skimp for a minute and go through suckiness for years? It ain't properly worth it bro! yet good success!

You have enough power, The only way to wire this sub is in parallel. (were you connect the two voice coils together in line.) This will drop your amp to a 2 ohm load bridged. Click link below to go to a wiring diagram.

If you do as Tony suggests, you will not get the right power to the subs (only 350 watts RMS to the sub).
Also the configuration you have, will not work.
E-mail me and I'll get you on the right track.

you are probably clipping your amp are you bridging?
if you must bridge amp wire like so http://akamaipix.crutchfield.com/graphics/infolib/carlib/subs/1_4ohmDVC_8ohm.gif most amps bridge to a 4ohm load
anything under that will clip and produce harmful distortion that will blow your subs
