(ohms and RMS power) are they single or dual voice coil? btw, bridging them means you'll only get mono but with subs mono is fine.

If you plan on using half that amp for mids and highs then wire the voice coils in series(for 16 ohm speaks) and then the speakers in parallel (3rd pic from top, first link) for an 8 ohm load, then wire the amp like it shows in the 2nd link for the "Stereo And Bridged" configuration. You're only gonna get 100 watts to each sub this way however, whereas the first way gives you 400 each. -Fishy
