That link doesn't work for the subs, are they dual 2 or 4 ohm, or single voice coils?
And what is the RMS of each sub?

The subs are 12" DVC Pioneer Primiers
TS-W1241DVC to be exact

If they are dual 4 ohm, which it looks they are, you can only wire them to 4 ohms, and 1 ohm! Go here to see for yourself. http://www.jlaudio.com/tutorials/wiring/index.html

Now that amp you have is 400rms @ 4ohms, or 800 @2 ohms, the best you can do is 4 ohms, provided they are dual 4 ohm voice coils. You will be underpowering them, you made want to get a mono amp!!! Sorry man!

Jack actually he can only wire 2-ohm or 8-ohm. The DVC 2-ohms go 1-ohm or 4-ohm. He would be overpowering them by about 300ish.
