You have two 4ohm dual voice coil subs, so the best wiring options you have are wiring them at a total of 1ohm load or 4ohm load.The subs have are rated at 450 watts rms. Your amp manufactorer claims to put out 1500 watts rms @ 1ohm and 500 watts rms @ 4 ohms.

Here is a site that has a wireguide for your application just put in the info that applies...

I would wire them in parallel since you have 4 ohm dual voice coils and a 1 ohm stable amp. You will get more power from the amp. Although from years of experience with audio systems I have found you pay for what you get and for true watts from an amp, it cost about 1 dollar per true watt. Most off brand name amps don't push what they say they do.
