Wiring a 4ohm amp and 4ohm sub

[GDut0n]

I have a Alpine SWR-1541d. It has dual 4 ohm voice coils. I then got a Rockford 501s which is a two channel amp, rated at bridged(mono) 4 ohm is 500watt. How would I go about wiring this to get the maximum power?

The best way I cam up with is:

Since that amp isn't 2ohm bridged stable your kinda outta luck as far as power goes, the sub is only gonna be seeing 250. You will jus thave to wire each voicecoil to a separate channel. Also i may be mistaken, but if you wired your sub like that to your amp im pretty sure you would blow the thing(amp) to hell. Not positive though, just wouldn't recomend it.
