Here's your amp specs:

# RMS Power Rating:

* 4 ohms: 125 watts x 2 chan.
* 2 ohms: 175 watts x 2 chan.
* Bridged, 4 ohms: 350 watts x 1 chan.
Looks to me like you'd be best to wire these things parallel for a 2 ohm load.

A mono 2 ohm load will cook that amp if its bridged. I'd just run the amp in stereo mode with one sub per channel. (single 4 ohm coil per sub).
