Ray, Have you ever considered running ideas by the board before buying lame, off brand gear?
This amp is rated at 350 Wrms x 2 @ 2 ohms per channel or bridged Mono to a 4 ohm load, 700 Wrms. The best thing going for it is the crossover filter network. (24dB/octave, 30-500 Hz.)
The easiest way to wire subs to amp is to wire one sub to wach channel. Since these are 4+4 DVC's, wire each coil in parallel to its mate and then to its own amp channel. (350 Wrms @ 2 ohms x 2 channels)

Unfortunately, that amp and sub is not a near perfect match. The amp is "rated" (supposedley has a 80 amp maxi fuse) at only half of what those subs can hold. Then again Audiobahn isn't very strict on their specs as well.
You options are stereo/parallel or mono series/parallel. Either way the ohmic value should be okay for that amp.
Going ported is the best bet here and will help with the lack of necessary power. Just watch for distortion when cranking the volume as either won't last long.

If you do go ported, be sure to used the Subsonic filter feature on this amp.
Also, these subs are not known for reliability when pushed to rated power. (700 Wrms/sub) It would be a good idea to set the gain so this amp does not exceed 300 x 2 or 600 watts x 1 when bridged. The low bass should be strong in a well matched ported system and a clean signal will protect the subs from premature failure.

PS Check the owners manual on these subs. Am not 100% certain that this series is recommended for ported applications???
