I have got a Lightning Audio Strike series 250.2 amp, I want to use it to power my two Kicker Comp (single voice coil) 12" subs. The amp is bridgeable. I need to know what would be the best way to wire the subs, and a description of how to do it. Your help will be alot of help.

what is the minimum bridgable impedence on the amp, and what is the impedence of each voice coil?

I am not sure about the amp but the subs are 8-ohm single voice coil

If you are sure these are 8 ohm SVC subs, you can bridge the amp to MONO (1 channel output) and wire the subs in parallel to get a 4 ohm load. That is optimal for a 2 channel amp when bridged.

Same wiring concept as shown. You'll get 4 ohms to the amp when wiring a pair of 8 ohms SVC's in the diagram shown in link. Easy deal!
