What are the sub coils?

Post the amps power ratings and we can help you.

yup need to know what your amp will put out at the different Ohm ratings as well as VC configurations.
obviously if you can match the output of the subs VC config to that of the highest outut rating on the amp (assuming that its within the driver's capacities) that would be the best way to have them wired

what voice coil config are they? dual 4ohm? or dual 2ohm? Not sure if there is a dual 2 ohm in the x series. dual 4, wire 1 series, and 1 paralell, then both of them paralell to the amp for a 4ohm load. that amp is not 1 ohm stable, so both in paralell would not be good for the amp.

and 1000watt 2ohm... those are the specs i got from the user manual...
the subs just say 1000watt rms 3000watt peek
Hook a multimeter up to the subs to find out what the voice coil configuration is.

The fact that they have jumpers just means that they are dual voice coil. Each individual coil could still be 2 or 4 ohms.

You'd probably get better sound running one of those subs off of that amp. You will be underpowering those subs quite a bit which could lead to distortion/damage. And you will definitely need to find out the voice coil arrangement on the subs to see what fits your situation best.
