Strapping Amps and Running a Parallel Circuit

I have two Kenwood Excelon X1R amps. These are mono-block amps rated at 1200watts rms @ 2ohms. I am planning on running two 12" 9500 MTX's dual 4 ohm subs on a parallel circuit connected to these amps; strapped. My question is, how would I run the wiring for the strapped amps AND run a parallel circuit? I really need some help here.

Had a quick look on the Kenwood site and I don't think you can strap those.

If you can't strap them, just run each amp to a sub. Coils in parallel of course. An RCA cable to each will be fine as long as your head unit provides a mono signal to the subwoofer outputs and you have to double the gain setting.

Remember that running both of those will require you to make some upgrades to your car's charging system. This entails a high output alternator alternator and ground straps at the minimum.
