reg cab truck. 1 12 or 2 8's

my amp is a kole audio 2 channel amp that will do 220w rms x2 @ 4ohms, 280w rms x2 @ 2 ohms, or 560w rms x2 bridged at 4 ohms. would it be possible to wire the 8's up to work right. im not a master at figuring out that series/parallel stuff could someone tell me?

you want to be able to send between 125-175 to each 8 now you can do that two ways

2 x 125-175 at 2ohms

or

1 x 250-350 at 4ohms or 1ohm

so if those are true rms values on that amp you would want to get the gains down a bit

they are prob a bit overrated seeing as its only a $120 amp. so you are saying i could wire each one to 2 ohms, and then each individual channel would be seeing a 2 ohm load if i understand correctly? wut would happen if i threw 3 in the mix? thank you for your help cdr.
