What wiring options do I have for a Quad Coil Sub?

Hi guys, I just purchased a "quad coiled" subwoofer and am wondering what wiring option I have. I have not purchased an amplifier yet nor have decided what ohm rating to run this sub on. Any suggestions? There were no wiring diagrams with the sub. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

how many ohms per coil is it

If I understand the spec sheet right, it is 4 coils rated at 1 ohm each. It's impedance is listed like this: 4(1+1+1+1). I assume that is how to interpret it.

yessir you got it.
I'd wire each pair of coils in series to get a single air of 2 ohm loads
then I'd get two 2-ohm stable amplifiers and stick one amp on each pair of coils.
quad coil subs are designed for SPL, so generally made for using 2 to 4 amplifiers to drive one sub

if you're forced to use 1 amp, wire each pair of coils in series, then wire both series pairs to a 1 ohm stable mono amp in parallel for a 1 ohm load.
