Featured How to wire 2 8Ω DVC & 2 4Ω SVC to the same amplifier

I have 4 JL 10" subwoofers, 2 of them are 10W3V3-4 (4Ω SVC) & 2 are 10TW3-D8 (8Ω DVC) I'm trying to wire them all to play from my JL RD1000.1 Amplifier for just a few minutes to see them all work. I read online I possibly can wire the DVC in parallel (2Ω) and SVC in Series (2Ω). Is this correct and will I be safe to do so

Either set of subs can be wired to a 2 ohm load. But trying to both sets to that amp at the same time would not be optimal. The only safe option would be to get both sets of subs to 2 ohms and then wire them together in series so that the amplifier sees a 4 ohm load. Which would be 600 watts total, 150 per sub.
Wiring the subs together in parallel would result in a 1 ohm load, which the RD1000 is not rated for.
