ive got this amp(1300W X 1 Bridged 2 Channel High Current Amplifier

2 x 130 WRMS @ 4 ohms; 2 x 250 WRMS @ 2 ohms; 2 x 375 WRMS @ 1 ohm; 2 x 650 WRMS @ .5 ohms ; Bridged: 1 x 500 WRMS @ 4 ohms; @ 2 ohms 1 x 750 WRMS @ 2 ohms; 1 x 1300 WRMS @ 1 ohm; Dimensions: 11-1/2" (W) x 2-1/2" (H) x 17-3/4" (L). Bridgeable, Tri-Mode Capable; Low Level Inputs; Bypass Line Output For Connecting Multiple Amplifiers To The Same Signal; Variable Low-Pass Filter 45- 1220 Hz; Variable High Pass Filter 100-800 Hz; Variable Bass Boost 0-18 dB; Variable Bass Boost Frequency: 45-90 Hz; Variable Phase Shift: 0-180 Deg; Variable Output Level Control; Thermal, Short Circuit & Overload Protection; VU Meters; Cooling Fan ) its an ma audio 1302.

I want to hook it up to these speakers(

Alpine SWE-1241 12" Type-E Series Subwoofer (4ohm) ))

Ive got two of them in a sealed box. what would be the best way to hook them up to get the most whats to each.

sorry if this is a dumb question. also what does variable phase shift mean and what should it be set at.

variable phase shift controls how the sub fires. you use it when you mount your sub firing INTO the box usually. put it at 0 if your sub is facing out of the box, 180 if its facing into the box.

as for wiring, your options are 8 ohm and 2 ohm. id suggest 2 ohm by wiring them in parallel.
