Nope....you bought the wrong sub for that amp (or, the wrong amp for that sub....however you wanna look at it).

Presently your only option is the wire the sub's coils in series for a 4ohm load, which would only give the sub 300w RMS. Or, return the sub and get the D4 version so you can wire it's coils in parallel for a final 2ohm load.

Crossover frequency; set it to whatever sounds best.
