Really Need Help Wiring Subs To Amp

Alright, I am really uneducated when it comes to wiring subs to an amp and so on. I focused on computers as a kid, and none it it makes sense to me, so im looking for some professional help.

I currently am in possession of:

1x Monoblock Zeus3000 hifonics amp

2x Old Alpine Type r's 12" 800 RMS max subs in a dual vented enclosure

2x NEW Alpine Type r's 12" 1000 RMS max subs in a dual vented enclosure.

I recently bought the new subs because i was planning on selling my old ones, but i never got around to it, and for how well they work, i wouldn't mind taking advantage of them.

I received the Zeus brand new from a friend, who did not need or want it.

Icurrently have a ton of room in my truck and can hold both enclosures in it, and i was wondering what is the BEST possible thing i can do with these subs? I have NO idea what type of Voice coils they are, but both places i got them said they can all run 1 ohm. Is it possible to wire both boxes 1 ohm to the amp? Should I? Should i buy a 3 sub box? I am looking for some opinions as to what the best thing i can do with these. (buy another amp for the other box, ect) I just want some opinions of what other people would do, or how it can be done. It would be greatly appreciated!

Your going to need a multimeter to check the impedance, once you know where you stand there, you can figure out if your amp will run the works.
