i have rescently bought 2 phoenixgold octane r 12inch subs with the box for 60 bucks, they are 4ohms and 250rms each. so i bought a jl xd600/1 monoblock amp . so here is the thing, there are 2 positive right beside each other and 2 negitive right beside on each other on the amp, and i have one sub plugged into one set of pos. and neg. and the other sub plugged into the other set. so what kind of watts am i puttin into the subs wired like that? in the manual and on the box it says its 600w@2ohms, 500w@3ohms, and 400w@4ohms so how do i wire it to get these 3 options? any help would be greatly apreciated.

wire one positive to the other positive then a wire from one positive to the positive on the amp

Do the same for the negatives only do it the opposite of how you did it on the positives
