Wiring DVC subs?

[2001Civic]

Okay I have 2 new Cerwin-Vega 12" dual voice coil subs (200watt RMS each, nominal impedance of 4 ohms/coil) and a 760watt 2 channel Pioneer amp. How would I go about wiring these? Here are some numbers from my amplifier:

Average current drawn = 9.6A (4 ohm for 2 channels)

Maximum power output = 250W X 2 / 760W X 1

Continuous power output = 125 W X 2 (at 14.4V, 4 ohm, 20-20,000 Hz, 0.08% THD)

380 W X 1 (at 14.4V, 4 ohm, 20-20,000 Hz, 0.08% THD)

190 W X 2 (at 14.4V, 2 ohm, 20-20,000 Hz, 0.08% THD)

Please help, there are 2 car shows this weekend I'll be in and my old subs are shameful to enter

You should hook them up in stereo . If your amp puts out 125 x2 @4 ohms it should put out about 200x2 @2 ohms. You can achive a 2 ohm stereo load by wiring the voice coils in parallel, then hook up one sub to your amps left channel and the other to the right.

If you feel you need to bridge the amp. You can get a 4 ohm mono load by wiring the coils in series and the speakers in parallel. If your amp can handle a 1 ohm mono load you could wire the coils in parallel and the speakers in parallel, However don't do this unless your amp is spec'd to handle 1/2 ohm stereo, 1 ohm mono loads.
