Dual 2 ohm or dual 4 ohm subs with my amp??????

I have an audiobahn A8002T. It's a two channel amp that puts out 400 watts rms per channel at 2 ohms. I want to get two Elemental Designs 13 Kv.2
subs and i want two run each of them at 400 watts. The subs come with the option of dual 4 ohm voice coils or dual 2 ohms voice coils. Which ones should i get to run them a 400 watts each (can i even do this with this amp?) and how would i wire them if i can do this.

for two subs and a 2 channel amp, you want a pair of dual 4 ohm coil subs.

wire each sub with parallel coils for a 2 ohm load.
put one sub on each channel for a stereo 2 ohm load.

that setup that glass is talking about is the exact setup i have in my truck except with two volfenhag subs and a 2000 watt volfenhag amp and even in a srappy bandpass enclosure that was too small and not tuned right for my subs it sounded pretty good considering.
