Amp and Subs Compatability?

[Shawn T]

I have an amp and two 10"DVC subs and want to change from a stereo hook-up to a bridged/mono hook-up. Currently the v.c. is wired series on each sub and each sub is on its own channel. I've been told I should wire the subs series and parallel both and hook up mono. My problem is I don't know if the amp and subs are compatable this way. Here are the specs on both the amp and subs. Could someone point me in the right direction? I don't wanna blow anything up. Thanks.

So the wattage will be o.k.?

Should be. Just use some common sense when setting the gain & such...

Would 12g wire be alright from the amp to the subs?
