I actually had that amp running some SVC audiobahns for a while.

The amp is 600 watts RMS at 2 or 1 ohms which is relly nice. Odds are the subs are dual 4 ohm, so run everything in parallel, and if they are dual 2 ohms, then run each sub in series, and parallel the two of them.

you want to match the lowest impedance the amp will be happy with, this means you get the most power which means the most sound

you should tell us what coils are on the subs then you can get the exact answre to your question.

if your subs are dual 4's then run it all in parallel.
